Popis: Female urinary retention is a common urological problem with many possible etiologies. Prior treatments attempted to decrease urethral resistance, but current neurourologic investigation has shown that this is rarely needed. Intermittent catheterization, along with diagnosing appropriate etiologic factors is the best management. If the workup reveals no organic etiology, psychological investigation may be needed because many of the patients have a significant psychosocial history. A multidisciplinary approach between the urologist, the psychiatrist and the neurologist usually provides the best management for females with urinary retention.
