Article Synopsis
- Urinary retention is the inability to void and can lead to serious health issues like kidney damage or urosepsis if untreated.
- Acute urinary retention (AUR) is easier to identify and treat, often presenting with pain and a lack of urination, typically resolved through catheterization.
- Chronic urinary retention (CUR) is harder to detect due to its often asymptomatic nature and is linked to high post-void residual urine; management varies based on the underlying cause and may involve conservative measures, medications, or surgery.
