Chronic urinary retention that is due to bladder blockage which can either be as a result of muscle damage or neurological damage. [7] If the retention is due to neurological damage, there is a disconnect between the brain to muscle communication, which can make it impossible to completely empty the bladder. [ 7 ]
A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra, the tube connected to the bladder that allows urination. The narrowing reduces the flow of urine and makes it more difficult or even painful to empty the bladder. [1] Urethral stricture is caused by injury, instrumentation, infection, and certain non-infectious forms of urethritis. The ...

This leads to urinary retention with high pressures in the bladder that can damage the kidneys. The bladder volume is usually smaller than normal due to increased muscle tone in the bladder. Spastic neurogenic bladder is usually caused by damage to the spinal cord above the level of the 10th thoracic vertebrae (T10). [5] [6]
Acute clot retention is one of three emergencies that can occur with hematuria. [17] The other two are anemia and shock. [17] Blood clots can prevent urine outflow through either ureter or the bladder. [17] This is known as acute urinary retention. Blood clots that remain in the bladder are digested by urinary urokinase producing fibrin ...
A urine culture and sensitivity test will assess the presence of a urinary tract infection that may be related to urinary retention. [12] Other tests may be needed to find or rule out problems in other parts of the urinary system. [1] Differential diagnosis will be improved by identifying possible inflammation of the Skene's glands and ...
