How is Urinary Retention Diagnosed in Cancer Patients?
Diagnosis can involve several approaches: - Medical History and Physical Exam: To identify symptoms and potential causes. - Ultrasound: To check for bladder distension and residual urine volume. - Cystoscopy: To visualize the inside of the bladder and urethra. - Urodynamic Tests: To assess bladder function and flow rates. - Imaging Tests: Such as CT scans or MRI to detect tumors pressing on the urinary tract.
