What are the risks of chronic urinary retention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poss kidney loss: Chronic retention of urine, if not relieved, will back up flow into the kidney and over time shut the kidney down. If the problem is related to the bladder, it may affect both kidneys due to back up of urine flow to block both kidneys.
