Urinary retention is a common urinary system disorder, and its symptoms mainly include the following:

1. Difficulty urinating: Patients often feel the need to strain to expel urine, or have trouble urinating even when the bladder is full.

2. Persistent urge to urinate: Even immediately after urination, there is still a sensation that the bladder contains urine, prompting the need to attempt urination again.

3. Frequent urination and increased nighttime urination: Needing to use the bathroom frequently, especially at night, although the volume of urine passed each time may be small.

4. Urgency: A sudden, strong need to urinate, which can be difficult to control, and sometimes results in incontinence before reaching the toilet.

5. Burning sensation in the urethra: After urination, patients may experience a burning sensation or pain in the urethra.

6. Abnormal urine color: The urine may appear darker due to concentration, or appear cloudy due to infection.

7. Feeling of residual urine: Even after urination, patients still feel that there is remaining urine in the bladder.

If you experience the above symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
