Abstract:
While urinary retention secondary to bladder outlet obstruction in the male occurs commonly and re. rely causes difficulty with diagnosis and treatment but acute urinary retention in the female is an uncommon finding, especially if one excludes patients with obvious extrinsic or intrinsic obstruction and neurological disease. We have reviewed 18 women referred to Yongdong Severance Hospital who retained the urine in absence of obvious causes and combination of medical, neurologic, psychiatric and urologic evaluation were performed. In this literature, we aimed to discover the mechanism of acute urinary retention in the female through the investigation of possible causes by urodynamic study and analysis of treatment response as to them.
