Urinary retention is a condition in which the bladder is not completely emptied, despite frequent feelings of urinary incontinence.
In addition to the above measures, some changes in daily lifestyle also help the person reduce the symptoms of urinary retention such as: drinking plenty of water to control urination, performing pelvic floor muscle exercises, bladder muscles to enhance the functioning of the urinary organs and better eliminate urinary retention.
A sudden dent in which it is impossible to urinate is called acute urinary retention.
If this condition goes on for a long time is called chronic urinary retention.
Urinary retention is common in older adults with both sexes but men over 80 are at higher risk.
