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 and reduce unnecessary urinary catheterization[3], but false positives may occur due to cysts of nearby organs.[4]

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.[5]

The use of bladder ultrasonography may reduce the frequency of intermittent urinary catheterization among patients with spinal cord disorders.[6] Although the use of protocols with bladder scanners to reduce the frequency of urinary catheretization are recommended[7], implementing a critical pathway with a bladder scanner may not increase the use of scanning prior to insertion of a urinary catheter.[8]
