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.
The three main causes of urinary retention in women are a hypotonic bladder, dysfunctional voiding, and vaginal prolapse. A hypotonic bladder muscle, also called a lazy or neurogenic bladder, does not contract (squeeze) hard enough during urination to empty the bladder completely. Dysfunctional voiding is a condition in which the muscles around the urethra do not relax enough during urination to allow urine to pass freely.
