737151 tn?1232299776 It is difficult to say without having information about history and examination. But urinary retention is a effect of obstruction of the urinary tract. Obstruction can occur due to enlargement of the prostate gland, which in turn causes infection. Other obstructions include a narrowing of the urethra, which may arise because of infection or inflammation, stone in the tract, nerve damage, or a tightening of the foreskin, called phimosis. Hope this information helps. Best.
Avatar n tn The commonest complications of the inguinal hernia repair include urinary retention, scrotal hematoma, ilioinguinal nerve damage, ischemic orchitis and recurrent hernia. Additional complications may be associated with individual body conditions or comorbidities. You will have to schedule corrective surgical treatment depending on whatever condition requires priority attention. This can be decided upon once you finish discussing your options with your surgeon. Do keep us posted. Regards.
Avatar f tn Has antone had a cysto done for urinary retention? I had a uti 3 weeks ago (which has since healed) but ever since I've had retention anywhere from 50-200cc post void. the urologist suggested a cysto I'm concerned that the irritation from surgery would make things worse. Does anyone have any insight?
Avatar m tn Yes, TURP may be useful with chronic urinary retention with BPH and over long term may be useful in preventing complications that could arise from the same. I would suggest discussing the pros and cons well in detail with your treating urologist before deciding on a management plan. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
Avatar n tn A weak bladder muscle, chronic obstruction, and nerve diseases or injury all can contribute to chronic urinary retention. Please discuss these possibilities with your urologist and check which ones have been ruled out in your case. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

Avatar n tn ve twice had a urethral reconstruction to remove a stricture. My prostate is only slightly enlarged -- and surgery on it is not recommended. My urologist tells me that the only way to remove the 300-400 ccs of urine in my bladder after urination is to catheterize myself twice a day. I am aghast at the prospect and I'm looking for options -- any options but the one presented to me. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn Possibilities that may need to be considered include medication side effect, psychological issues such as anxiety, autonomic or hormonal/ endocrine imbalance, neuro-muscular issues etc. There is no specific time limit before urinary retention becomes an emergency; it usually depends on the amount of urine and more commonly on the severity of symptoms.

Avatar n tn Sorry to read of your problems. Urinary retention can occur after for pelvic organ prolapse and your physician should be familiar with this condition or refer you to someone who is. I would suggest you seek a second opinion from a urogynecologist or urologist. They should be able to evaluate you and treat you appropriately.
Avatar n tn Hi, Urinary retention is a common problem in the elderly male. A stroke can cause urinary retention by altering the brain's ability to cause the bladder to contract on demand. The CVA preceeded the retention by 6 months so it's unclear whether this is a factor. It's not uncommon for patients to have an unrecognized problem causing difficulty voiding after a CVA that became apparent later in time.
Avatar n tn Also, repair of the cystocele can actually cause new urinary problems, such as urinary retention, or urge urinary incontinence. Oy! Another thing to consider would be a pessary - if the exercises aren't working, it's an option. You may need to try several different types before settling on one that works well for you.
Avatar n tn This can be repaired through surgery. Recovery time varies depending on the size of the hernia, the technique used, age and presence of underlying medical condition. However, a hernia can recur up to several years after repair. I hope this helps.

Avatar f tn If the pet is already spayed or neutered, repair of the hernia will require another surgery. Or, if a female has a recessed or immature vaginal area it is best to wait until the vaginal area matures before spaying to help avoid urinary and vaginal infection problems. This problem cannot be assessed if the pet is already spayed early.
Avatar f tn I would think that the doctors would repair the bladder, uterus and rectal prolapse during the surgery. Prolapse of the urinary bladder, Cystocele, can cause urinary retention, frequent UTI's, urgency and frequency, and in some cases obstructive voiding resulting in reflux to the kidneys that may damage them. These issues can be evaluated with testing, Urodynamics / Cystometrics.
Avatar m tn I am 65 year old male. I had hernia surgery yesterday. When I pee the urinary stream is very weak. Is this common?
1221035 tn?1301000508 Urinary problems of all sorts are common with MS. Retention is a serious issue, as urine can back up into the kidneys and cause all kinds of problems from there. Also, the longer urine is in the bladder, the greater the chance of infection. UTIs can be dangerous, as many here know from experience. I urge you to see a urologist, or if possible a urogynecologist, as soon as you can. There are tests that can tell a lot about the state of your urinary functioning.
Avatar f tn I gave been worried sick and do not have my appt until next week to go over results of the ct scan. If anyone has any imput that would be great! Unsure if i have to have surgery and if so the recovery time.
Avatar n tn I had a problem a few months ago with inability to urinate (urinary retention). I had to go to the emergency room and they inserted a catheter to remove the urine in my bladder. I had the catheter in for a month. It has been removed and I am back to normal. The doctor put me on finasteride to reduce the prostate size and tamsulosin (Flowmax) which is working. I asked my doctor if I had to take these two medications for the rest of my life he said yes.
Avatar f tn This was my second surgery (first... removal of ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids). My recent surgery was also to repair a small hernia and removing bowel adheshions (scar tissue). Both are believed to be a result of my first surgery - possibly returning to work and daily activity too soon. I have 2 questions? First, what is a recommend timeframe to resume daily activities (I.e.driving,etc.). My tentative return tobwork dare isn't until July. And...
Avatar f tn Hi, I as a male have a problem with urinary retention following a general aneasthetic. Over the last 10 years I have had at least 9 surgeries all of different sorts. I first noticed that I had problems in 1999 after a vasectomy. I ended up with a hematoma near the left testicle and had surgery to have the blood clot removed. When I woke up I was in a room with three other male patients and I was in a lot of discomfort.
