What causes urinary retention?• Urinary retention can be

attributed to two causes — either obstruction or non-obstruction.• If there is an obstruction (for

example, bladder or kidney stones), a blockage occurs and urine cannot flow unimpeded through your urinary track. This is the basis for acute urinary retention and is potentially life threatening. You must seek immediate emergency treatment.

Symptoms of urinary retention differ according to whether you’re suffering from Acute or

Chronic Urinary Retention:

• Common causes of non-obstructive urinary retention are:• Stroke• Vaginal childbirth• Pelvic injury or trauma• Nerve disease in both men and

women• Impaired muscle or nerve function

due to medication or anaesthesia• Accidents that injure the brain or

spinal cord

How is urinary retention diagnosed?

• For acute urinary retention, the signs are often obvious. For example, you will be extremely uncomfortable, unable to pass urine and have a distended bladder. For chronic urinary retentions the diagnosis may only come after your doctor performs a series of tests. This is because some of the symptoms are shared with other conditions related to the bladder and urinary tract.
