A member asked:

What can you do for urinary retention caused by analgesic drugs? ex nsaids?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Urinary retention in your age group brought on by nonprescription medications is suspicious of an underlying structural lower urinary tract pathology such as bladder outlet obstruction from prostate issues or a neurological abnormality. A urologist should be consulted.
