摘要
Acute retention of urine (AUR) is a common urological emergency characterised by a sudden inability to pass urine associated with lower abdominal pain. In recent years, the natural history and incidence of AUR has become better understood, however, further research into methods to prevent it and evaluation of the impact an episode of AUR has on the patient is required. This review provides an overview of the current management of AUR in men and the impact of the condition on patients' quality of life.
