So the topic wills mainly focusing on the acute urinary retention in male patients.

Risikofaktoren für Harnverhalt

1. Benigne Prostatahyperplasie (BPH) - Der häufigste Risikofaktor, der bei älteren Männern nicht vermieden oder ignoriert werden kann. Es handelt sich um die Vergrößerung der Prostata. Typischerweise kommt es bei Männern, die über 50 Jahre alt sind, allmählich zu einem schlechten Harnstrahl. Die richtige Behandlung durch einen Urologen ist in der Lage, das Risiko eines Harnverhalts in der Zukunft zu minimieren.
2. Urethral stricture – Having history of urethral infection, STDs or Endoscopic urological procedure might induce a urethral scarring process which will makes urethral lumen narrowing and finally obstructed.

3. Urethral stone – A rare condition which is occurred by urinary tract stone occluded inside the urethral lumen and that would need an emergency evacuation.

4. Infektionen - Blaseninfektionen, Prostatainfektionen oder Harnröhreninfektionen können zu einer starken Reizung in diesen Bereichen führen, so dass ein akuter Harnverhalt bestehen bleiben kann.

5. Medications – Certain medications can interfere with bladder function. When the causative drug is stopped, acute urinary retention typically resolves.

6. Constipation – Stool compacted in the rectum can compress the urethra and obstruct urinary flow, making constipation a surprisingly common and easily correctable cause of urinary retention.

7. Limited ambulation – The bladder is controlled by the brain, which typically allows voiding in a quiet, standing position. Patients confined to bed often struggle to urinate and can improve simply by being encouraged to walk and stand.

8. Neurological causes – A complicated condition that should be needed more carefully assessment by Urologist.
9. Bladder dysfunction – Another rare bladder condition which cannot contract well and end up with full bladder.

An urgent management which we had always performed is the bladder decompression with urethral catheter or suprapubic tube insertion to release a large amount of the urines from the bladder before it becomes rupture. Then the certain treatment will be depended and done by a well-trained Urologist. Patient must be educated about plan of the treatment and the possibility causes of the retention. A few complications after draining a large volume of urine, such as hematuria, should be explained to the patient in advance to prevent unnecessary alarm.
