    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Neurology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Chronic urinary retention (CUR) in women is a complex condition.
    • Understanding the underlying etiologies is crucial for effective management.
    • Neurological conditions are often suspected but may not be the predominant cause.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of female chronic urinary retention.
    • To identify the prevalence of neurological disease in these patients.
    • To present challenges in diagnosis and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 37 female patients diagnosed with chronic urinary retention.
    • Analysis of patient records to determine underlying causes, focusing on neurological involvement.
    • Evaluation of diagnostic procedures and treatment strategies employed.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 37 cases, only 13 patients (35%) had an identifiable neurological disease.
    • A significant proportion of cases had non-neurological etiologies.
    • Specific diagnostic and management difficulties were noted across the cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Neurological disease is not the primary etiology in the majority of female chronic urinary retention cases.
    • Non-neurological factors should be thoroughly investigated.
    • Standardized diagnostic and management protocols may improve outcomes for these patients.
