Retention of urine occurs when one is unable to completely empty the bladder. It can be acute, occurring suddenly due to obstruction, or chronic, developing over time. Acute retention requires immediate catheterization to drain the bladder, while chronic retention involves identifying and treating the underlying cause of the partial obstruction. A thorough history, exam, and testing is needed to determine if the retention is due to issues in the bladder, prostate, urethra, or other causes and select the appropriate management.
