Ritenzione urinaria acuta in giovani donne con sindrome uretrale. Protocollo diagnostico e terapeutico

Abstract

The Urethral Syndrome is defined as lower urinary symptoms in women in the absence of bladder bacteriuria. Symptoms include straining to void, urgency frequency, hesitation, incontinence, retention and subpubic pain. In females affected by urethral syndrome some authors have found histological degeneration and urodynamic alterations, such as significantly higher than normal maximum urethral closure pressure, low urinary flow rates. The authors studied 5 women with urethral syndrome, and acute or chronic urinary retention. A personal therapeutic approach is presented.
