In medicine, urinary retention is "inability to empty the urinary bladder with voiding (urination).[1]
In males, antimuscarinic cholinergic antagonists may contribute to retention.[2]
Diagnosis
Ultrasonography
Bladder ultrasonography may detect urinary retention, but false positives may occur due to cysts of nearby organs.[3]
Treatment
Postoperative urinary retention (> 500 ml of urine estimated by bladder scanning) may be better treated with intermittent urinary catheterization rather than indwelling urinary catheterization.[4]
