What are the main symptoms of urinary retention?
The main symptoms of urinary retention in women are:
- lack of self-p uril;
- pain in the lower abdomen;
- the presence of a strong urge to urinate (a woman can not find a place, rushes);
- The presence of a small swelling in the lower abdomen, which appears as a result of overflow of the bladder.
What are the forms of urinary retention?
In medicine, it is customary to isolate 2 forms of this condition, like urinary retention: acute and chronic.
The acute form is characterized by the fact that the inability to urinate itself for just a few hours develops. In this situation, women have a strong urge to urinate, which in the end does not happen.
With a chronic form of urinary retention, which is not uncommon in an elderly woman, urination is not difficult, but after every visit to the toilet in the bladder remains a large amount of urine.
Separately, we can distinguish, the so-called paradoxical form, - the ishuria , which develops against a background of overflow of the bladder and leads to urinary incontinence. The reason for this is the overgrowth of sphincters.
Causes of urinary retention
In order to schedule timely and correct treatment, each doctor tries to determine why the urine retention occurs in a woman. In this case, the following causes of urinary retention develop:
- Mechanical. In such a situation, the normal discharge of urine is disturbed by the presence of any obstacle, the main ones being trauma to the urethra, stones (stones) in the bladder , a tumor of the urethra, the uterus, and the rectum.
