Talk:Urinary retention

message: Urinary obstruction may need its own page, rather than a redirect here.  Else, this page needs to be made much more comprehensive. Urinary obstruction is a significant complication of large tumors in the pelvis (eg sacrococcygeal teratoma), among other conditions, congenital and otherwise. Una Smith 18:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: A somewhat hair-raising study has found that in men over 45, hospitalisation for acute urinary retention means they will have a 25% mortality in the first year. Figures are relatively OK for young men with no other health problems, but worsen with age and comorbitity.  JFW | T@lk 21:30, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mortality 

message: Hello
My borther, aged 45, suffers from schizophreneia and takes antipsychotic medication (currently Clozapine/Leponex and Quetiapine/Seroquel) on a daily basis for over 20 years now. He is experiencing a serious urine retention situation whereby after urination the postvoid residual does not fall below 400 ml. His uria, creatinine and PSA levels are so far within acceptable limits. Also, ultrasound imaging has shown that his prostate gland does not appear to be oversized.
One of the urologists we have been to recommends that my brother undergoes a urodynamic examination while fully sedated (because due to his mental disorder he refuses to willingly co-operate) in order to determine the possibility of a bladder outlet obstruction. Another specialist argues that my brother's particular medical record is most probably the root cause for the weak bladder muscles and he thus suggests avoiding the urodynamic test altogether and instead do the following:
(i) replace the antipsychotic drugs with others that do not affect the bladder,
(ii) administer bladder-muscle relaxing medication (e.g. Alfuzosin/UroXatral) on a daily basis for a prolonged period of time,
(iii) emptying the bladder 3 to 4 times a day using disposable single-use catheters for a period of 4 to 6 weeks.
The following questions arise:
(1) is it possible to have the urodynamic examination while sedated/asleep? http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/urodynamic/ suggests it is not because the patient has got to perform certain actions while examined like drinking water, coughing etc,
(2) is emptying the bladder 3 to 4 times a day using disposable catheters going to help strengthen its muscles? What are the hygenic issues involved with this process? Is it necessary to also receive some infection preventing medication like antibiotics?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.68.132.159 (talk) 08:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello  I moved this section back to talk. Nearly all the references were primary studies which do not meet WP:MEDRS. I started to remove the primary references, but so much of the text needs to be removed, I have moved this back here to fix it up. If you have any questions or need some assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. Wikipedia-style of editing is a little different than academic writing for a journal.
Here is what I had left when removing the clinical trial publications:
=== Risk Factors of Post Operative Urinary Retention: ===
Postoperative urinary retention risk factors include age, medications, anesthetics, benign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms, and surgery related factors, including operating room time, intravenous fluids, and procedure type.

message: The source is clear that the stones are in the bladder "The stones formed or lodged in the bladder may block the opening to the urethra."
