title: Management of urinary retention.
abstract: An inability to void urine from the bladder is described as retention of urine. It is not uncommon after surgical procedures or childbirth but is usually temporary. It also occurs as a result of obstruction or of a neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis (Getliffe and Dolman, 2003).
