URINE RETENTION: What is urinary retention? It is a condition where your bladder doesn’t empty all the way or at all when you urinate. Your bladder is like a storage tank for urine. Urine is made up of waste that’s filtered out of your blood by your kidneys. Once filtered, the urine moves to your bladder where it waits till it’s time to move through the urethra and out of the body. When you have urinary retention, it can be acute (sudden) or chronic (long-term). Acute means that it comes on quickly and it could be severe. Chronic urinary retention means that you’ve had the condition for a longer period of time. The acute form of urinary retention is an emergency. In this case, you’ll need to see a healthcare provider right away. The chronic form happens most of the time in older men, but it can also occur in women.
SYMPTOMS AND CAUSES What causes chronic urinary retention? Urinary retention can happen for several different reasons which can include: A blockage to the way urine leaves your body. Medications you’re taking for other conditions. Nerve issues that interrupt the way your brain and urinary system communicate. Infections and swelling that prevent urine from leaving your body. Complications and side effects of medications given to you for a surgical procedure.
BLOCKAGE: When something blocks the free flow of urine through the bladder and urethra, you might experience urinary retention. In men, a blockage can be caused when the prostate gland gets so big that it presses on the urethra. This is the most common cause of chronic urinary retention in men. One cause in women is a bladder that sags. This is called cystocele. It can also be caused when the rectum sags into the back wall of the vagina – a condition called rectocele. Some causes can happen to both men and women. The urethra can get narrow due to scar tissue. This is called a stricture. Urinary stones can also block the flow of urine out of your body.
NERVE ISSUES: Passing your urine happens when the brain tells the bladder muscle to tighten. This squeezes urine from the bladder. The brain then tells the sphincter muscles surrounding the urethra to relax. This lets the flow of urine go through the urethra and out of the body. Anything that gets in the way on the path from the brain to the nerves that go to the bladder and the urethra can also cause this problem. Causes of nerve issue can include: Stroke. Diabetes. Multiple sclerosis. Trauma to the spine or pelvis. Pressure on the spinal cord from tumors and a herniated disk. Vaginal childbirth. If you have had a thin tube called a catheter in the past, you may be at greater risk for this condition. Your risk is also higher if your healthcare provider has used any other special device on you, such as an ureteroscope or cystoscope (these are telescopes with cameras that look in the urinary tract). Urinary retention from nerve disease occurs at the same rate in men and women. Infections and swelling In men, an infection of the prostate can cause it to swell. This causes it to press on the urethra to block the flow of urine. A urinary tract infection (UTI) can cause swelling of the urethra or weakness of the bladder, both of which can cause urinary retention. Diseases spread by having sex (called STIs) can also cause swelling and lead to retention. What are the symptoms of urinary retention? The signs can vary. Some people with the chronic form have a hard time starting the flow of urine. Some have a weak flow once they start. Others may feel the need to go but can’t start. Others have to go a lot, while others still feel the need to go right after going. You may “leak” urine when you aren’t going because the bladder is full. With the acute form, you’re all of a sudden not able to go at all, or only able to go very small amounts. This occurs even though you have a full bladder. See a healthcare provider right away if this happens to you.
How is chronic urinary retention diagnosed?
History and physical exam
Ultrasound of the bladder
Cystoscopy
Urodynamic testing
EMG
PSA
How is urinary retention treated? Treatment for urinary retention can depend on whether you have the acute form or the chronic form, as well as the cause of the condition. For the acute form, a catheter is put into the urethra to drain the bladder. Treatment of the chronic form – or the acute form that becomes chronic—will depend on the cause.
