Abstract
Urinary retention in women is uncommon,
with a much lower incidence than in men.
It may be acute (with suprapubic pain)
or chronic (typically painless). Urinary
retention in females is frequently transient,
with no apparent cause, which makes
the management of these patients more
challenging.
