Wgat is the name of this codition, where a person retains urine in the bladder but does not feel like urinating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urinary retention: "Retaining" urine in the bladder without the bladder giving a signal to the brain saying, "Hey, I'm full! Let's go now!" is the formal medical term. There can be many reasons for this, ranging from muscle, nerve, brain, spinal cord problems, toxins, drug side effects, previous injuries, or other illnesses of the bladder. Make sure you see a urologist who specializes in bladder disease. Luck!
