Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Urinary retention can be caused by various factors, including prostate problems, bladder muscle dysfunction, urethral stricture, and others. The following are some recommendations:
1. Seek timely medical attention: It is recommended to consult a healthcare provider promptly for diagnosis and treatment. A detailed medical history, physical examination, and necessary tests can help determine the specific cause.
2. Adjust lifestyle habits: Maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as avoiding excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption, as they may irritate the bladder; urinate at regular intervals and avoid holding urine for prolonged periods; strengthen pelvic floor muscle exercises, which can help improve bladder control.
3. Psychological adjustment: Incomplete urination can sometimes be related to psychological factors such as stress and anxiety. Therefore, patients should maintain a calm mindset and avoid excessive anxiety.
4. Medication: After identifying the underlying cause, appropriate medications can be selected according to a doctor's advice. Incomplete urination caused by a urinary tract infection can be treated with antibiotics for infection control.
5. Physical therapy: Physical therapies such as electrical stimulation or biofeedback training may be beneficial.
