Condition

It’s not just an inconvenient condition, but a potentially distressing issue that predominantly affects men. This condition can be bifurcated into two categories – chronic and acute retention, each with its own unique characteristics and implications. Underlying causes of urinary retention are diverse and multifactorial, ranging from benign prostatic enlargement and urethral strictures, which are common in men, to pelvic organ prolapse seen in women. Moreover, neurological diseases can also play a significant role, making this condition a complex interplay of various health issues. Addressing urinary retention demands more than mere symptomatic relief. It requires a careful evaluation and a thorough understanding of the patient’s medical history, symptoms and lifestyle. Our goal is not just to identify the condition, but to pinpoint its root cause.

Treatment

Once a precise diagnosis is obtained, we can tailor a treatment plan that directly addresses the underlying issue, offering the patient the best chance at regaining control and normalcy in their life. In the face of urinary retention, we’re not just treating a symptom – we’re striving to uncover the complexities that led to its onset, and devising a targeted, personalised treatment strategy.
