The cause of the urinary retention has to be found out. If there’s any obstruction in the urinary tract causing the interference in the flow, then the obstruction has to be relieved. On the other hand, if it’s due to the weakness of the detrussors (muscles of the urinary bladder which help in expelling urine), there’re medications to which help in causing the muscles to contract and push urine. Please do consult a urologist for the same as you may need some urodynamic studies to find out the underlying cause. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
