Urinary Retention

As you begin the diagnosis and treatment of urinary retention, you may meet a variety of medical professionals dedicated to giving you their best possible care. It’s important to be honest and straightforward with your health care providers about your symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment concerns.

Urologist

Urologists are surgeons who specialise in diseases of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Some urologists have specific experience in female urology and the treatment of urinary retention.

Gynaecologist

Gynaecologists specialise in women's general health, including care of reproductive organs, breasts, sexual function, and hormonal disorders. Gynaecologists also treat pelvic organ and urinary tract problems.

Urogynaecologist

Urogynaecologists specialise in diseases of the female urinary tract and pelvic reconstructive surgery. They also treat prolapse and bladder control problems, including urinary retention.

Urodynamics Nurse

Urodynamic tests are usually conducted by nurses specialising in urodynamics. The test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate your bladder function. The results of these tests help your doctor decide which treatment is right for you.

Nurse, Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant

A nurse, nurse practitioner or physician assistant typically works closely with your doctor. He or she may answer questions, and advise you on treatments such as Kegel exercises, fluid and diet modification, or physical therapy.

Physical Therapist

Your doctor may prescribe physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in your pelvic floor. Pelvic floor rehabilitation may include pelvic floor stimulation and biofeedback-guided pelvic floor exercises, used alone or in combination.
