Urinary retention is the inability to void urine voluntarily. The condition is common worldwide and can occur acutely or chronically. Acute urinary retention in men most commonly occurs secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Acute urinary retention in women is rare but still occurs, and the anatomical differences preclude treatment and best course management. Urinary retention, characterized by the incomplete emptying of the bladder, manifests as acute or chronic conditions. Treatment involves tailored approaches, considering multifactorial causes and individual patient factors. This activity concerns male urinary retention, including acute and chronic cases.Clinicians participating in this activity will review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, etiology, history, physical evaluation, laboratory, and other testing procedures to evaluate and diagnose the condition. Treatment options, patient instructions, follow-up care, potential complications, associated comorbidities, and key points in healthcare team management are discussed. An interprofessional primary care team and specialists, particularly urologists, are best equipped to handle male urinary retention.
