If urinary retention
is caused by urethral stricture caused by urethral inflammation, the symptoms are mild, and the patient promptly takes antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules, azithromycin capsules, cefixime capsules, etc. to eliminate inflammation, the urethra can return to normal in 1-2 weeks, and urinary retention can be relieved. However, if the patient's urinary retention is caused by cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction, the condition is serious and surgery is needed, the recovery time will be prolonged accordingly, and it may take 1-3 months to recover.
