How to treat and manage urinary retention?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been dealing with urinary retention and strong pH for about two months. I went to the ER and did a urinalysis and blood test, and they did not find any infection. It has been about three weeks now, and I am still having the same symptoms. What should I do to increase my urination and relieve my bladder? Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Regarding your symptoms, I believe you have developed bladder outlet partial obstruction, which is possible due to urethral injury. May I ask if you do masturbation daily? Or is there any recent instrumental procedure around your penis? Kindly do the following test: MCU (micturating cystourethrogram) test and reply to me with the result. Please take the following: one tablet of Finasteride 2.5 mg orally, four times a day for one month. I hope this helps you. Kindly schedule another follow-up appointment via chat, phone, or video consultation.

Thank you.
