Unusual cause for acute retention of urine.
Acute retention of urine occurs uncommonly in women. One of the more common causes has been labelled psychogenic. Postoperative urinary retention is seen infrequently, particularly after pelvic and anal surgery. Rare causes include complete procidentia, vesical herpes zoster, bladder stone and bladder tumours with or without clot retention.
