What is the cause of urinary retention?

Urinary retention in women may be caused by urinary tract infection, urinary calculi, nerve damage, etc.

1. Urinary tract infection

When urinary tract infection exists, urinary tract mucosa congestion and edema may affect urine discharge due to inflammatory reaction, resulting in urinary retention.

2. Urinary

calculi may lead to urinary obstruction, which may cause urine not to be discharged smoothly, resulting in increased residual urine volume and urinary retention.

3. Nerve damage

Spinal cord injury, tumor leading to spinal cord compression, etc. may affect bladder movement, resulting in abnormal automatic urination control function, resulting in urinary retention.
