Inability to Urinate Overview. When you cannot empty your bladder completely, or at all, despite an urge to urinate, you have urinary retention. To understand how urinary retention occurs, it is important to understand the basics of how urine is stored in and released from the body.
When your bladder stretches beyond a certain point, nerves in the bladder wall send a message to your brain telling it that your bladder is getting full and needs to be emptied. Taking a leak. Urine leaves the body by flowing out of the bladder down a tube called the urethra. The junction between the bladder and urethra is opened and closed by a muscle known as a sphincter. When you decide you need to urinate your brain tells this sphincter to relax, opening the bladder-urethra junction.
