Management of urinary retention.
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).
