Can a urinary retention kill you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would have to be: pretty dog gone bad to cause that kind of problem. If a person had no ability to urinate and their urine backed up more and more it could become quite toxic. If you are having significant urinary retention on your new medication - let your prescribing provider know.
