- In acute urinary retention (medical emergency), the most urgent therapy is to restore urine outflow. This is usually done by suprapubic bladder puncture (= percutaneous (“through the skin“) puncture of the urinary bladder above the pubic bone).
- After derivation of the urine is the necessary diagnostics.
- If there is still pain after urine diversion, paracetamol or metamizole (analgesics / painkillers) can be used.
