Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology

Context:

  • Acute urinary retention (AUR) is uncommon in women, with an incidence of 0.07 per 1000 person-years.
  • Over half of AUR cases in women occur post-surgery or parturition.
  • Gynecologic tumors are the most frequent obstructive cause of AUR.

Purpose:

  • To review the causes and management of acute urinary retention in women.
  • To highlight the low incidence and specific etiological factors in the female population.

Summary:

  • Causes of AUR are categorized into obstructive, neurological, pharmacological, and psychogenic.
  • Psychogenic causes are diagnosed by exclusion.
  • Initial management for AUR involves catheterization, followed by further investigation.

Impact:

  • Provides a concise overview of a rare condition in women.
  • Emphasizes the importance of prompt catheterization in managing AUR.
  • Contributes to understanding the specific challenges of AUR in female patients.
