Question:
Hello,what is the setting for Detrusor Failure (bladder muscle). Does it come under Urination Disorders (page 117) or is there another setting. Thank you, L. M.
Answer:
Acute retention of urine, or the sudden inability to void, is usually associated with pain and severe desire to void. It is common in older men with an enlarged prostate but can occur in men and women of all ages.
Painless acute retention is associated with neu-rological conditions such as spinal cord compression or disc prolapse. Chronic retention of urine is the chronic and long-standing inability to empty the bladder completely.
This is usually painless and often the patient is unaware that he or she is retaining urine. Causes of retention of urine include:
Detrusor failure
Bladder outflow obstruction;
Neurological cause; A side-effect of drug therapy.
Use frequency set:
Urinary Retention: 0.05, 0.95, 5.25, 12.71, 35.75, 96.5, 510.25, 655.2, 752.63, 926.7
