Urinary Retention
NK Institute's
Urinary retention is the inability to empty all the urine from the bladder. Urinary retention can be:
· Acute – a sudden inability to urinate
· Chronic – a gradual inability to urinate
During urination, the preganglionic neurons of this sympathetic pathway to the internal sphincter muscle are inhibited via signals arising in the pontine micturition center located in the PAG. There are descending pathways from the PAG via the later reticulospinal tract, allowing the muscle to relax.
Under stress there are Corticoliberin (CRH) projections through the lateral reticulospinal tract from the PAG that inhibit the ability urinate.
