Acute Urinary Retention

Acute urinary retention is the most common cause of the partial or complete inability to empty the bladder. The condition is also called urethral obstruction or urinary obstruction syndrome. Rapid urinary retention occurs when your bladder’s muscle is suddenly too weak to get rid of its contents, a condition is known as detrusor overactivity. If this happens repeatedly, you may develop involuntary urge incontinence — uncontrollable leakage of urine while coughing, laughing, or exercising.
