Components of Urinary Retention Care
✔ Emergency Assessment & Catheterization – For acute urinary retention, immediate placement of a urinary catheter (e.g., Foley catheter) to drain the bladder, relieve pain, and prevent kidney damage.
✔ Detailed Medical History & Physical Exam – A thorough assessment of symptoms, medications, recent surgeries, and any history of prostate problems, neurological conditions, or strictures.
✔ Post-Void Residual (PVR) Measurement – Ultrasound measurement of the amount of urine remaining in the bladder after a spontaneous void (if possible), to assess chronic retention severity.
✔ Urinalysis & Cultures – Tests to rule out urinary tract infections, which can sometimes cause or complicate retention.
✔ Blood Tests (Kidney Function) – Including serum creatinine and BUN to assess for any impact on kidney function due to prolonged retention.
✔ Imaging Studies (e.g., Renal Ultrasound, Cystoscopy) – Essential for visualizing the prostate, bladder, and urethra to identify common causes like prostate enlargement, strictures, stones, or bladder weakness.
✔ Urodynamic Studies – Advanced tests to evaluate bladder muscle strength, bladder capacity, and urethral resistance, especially for chronic or unexplained retention.
✔ Addressing Underlying Causes – Treatment focuses directly on the identified cause, such as medications or procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urethral dilation or surgery for strictures, or management of neurological conditions.
✔ Training for Intermittent Self-Catheterization (If Needed) – For chronic retention that cannot be fully resolved, patients may be taught to self-catheterize periodically to ensure complete bladder emptying.
✔ Follow-up & Ongoing Care – Regular monitoring to assess improvement, prevent recurrence, and manage any long-term effects on bladder health.
