Pelvic floor muscle exercises, also called Kegel exercises, help the nerves and muscles that you use to empty your bladder work better. Physical therapy can help you gain control over your urinary retention symptoms.
Definition & Facts. Urinary retention is a condition in which you cannot empty all the urine from your bladder. Urinary retention can be acute—a sudden inability to urinate, or chronic—a gradual inability to completely empty the bladder of urine.
Urinary retention can be attributed to two causes — either obstruction or non-obstruction. If there is an obstruction (for example, bladder or kidney stones), a blockage occurs and urine cannot flow unimpeded through your urinary track. This is the basis for acute urinary retention and is potentially life threatening.
N32.81ICD-10 | Overactive bladder (N32. 81)
Obstruction anywhere in the circuit Anything that prevents the urine to get to the bladder from the kidneys can cause urinary retention. Some of the causes for obstruction that are common to men and women are: Kidney stones or urinary tract stones in general. Any defect in the structure of the urethra.
Voiding dysfunction is a broad term, used to describe conditions where there is inconsistent coordination within the urinary tract between the bladder muscle and the urethra. This results in incomplete relaxation or overactivity of the pelvic floor muscles during voiding (urination).
In neurogenic bladder, the nerves that carry messages back-and-forth between the bladder and the spinal cord and brain don't work the way they should. Damage or changes in the nervous system and infection can cause neurogenic bladder. Treatment is aimed at preventing kidney damage.
596.53 - Paralysis of bladder. ICD-10-CM.
Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined by the International Continence Society as the complaint of any involuntary leakage of urine.3 One component of the ICS standardization divides pelvic floor muscle dysfunction symptoms into five groups: lower urinary tract symptoms, bowel symptoms, sexual function, prolapse, and pain.4 It is of note that many of these symptoms occur simultaneously and are relevant to each other. In this report, we will focus on lower urinary tract symptoms: urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency, slow or intermittent urine stream and straining, and feeling of incomplete emptying.
Common medications to treat urgency or urgency urinary incontinence have historically included anticholinergics/antimuscarinic agents: oxybutynin, tolterodine, solifenacin, hyoscyamine, fesoterodine and darifenacin. These drugs are sold under the names of: Ditropan, Detrol, Vesicare, Enablex, Levbid, Cytospaz, Toviaz and Oxytrol. Anticholinergic/antispasmodic drugs are one of the first choices for OAB, as they have been proven to be the most effective agents in suppressing premature detrusor contractions, enhancing bladder storage, and relieving symptoms.9,10 Anticholinergic and antispasmodic agents act by antagonizing cholinergic muscarinic receptors, through which different parasympathetic nerve impulses evoke detrusor contraction Side effects of these medications can be bothersome and include dry mouth, headache, constipation, blurred vision, and confusion.1 Many patients do not continue medications beyond 9 months due to these bothersome side effects.11 A newer class of drugs, beta-3 adrenergic agonists, are mostly currently being used if anticholinergic agents are not effective. One medication, called mirabegron, sold under the name Myrbetriq, works differently than the anticholinergics, as it relaxes the bladder’s smooth muscle while it fills with urine, thereby increasing the bladder’s capacity to hold/store urine.12
The current evidence discusses the role of the transversus abdominus with the pelvic floor muscles for trunk stabilization . When activated correctly, the transversus abdominus and pelvic floor muscles, along with the diaphragm and multifidus provide local or regional trunk stabilization.20 With dysfunction (back pain, urinary incontinence, etc), concurrent activation of the PFM and TrA is not always present. It has been shown that women with urinary incontinence who attempted PFM contraction actually depressed their bladder base and showed greater abdominal activity and less PFM activity on sEMG than continent women.21 This could potentially result in worsening of urinary incontinence due to the chronic increase in intra-abdominal pressure that occurs with over-activation of TrA over PFM. Therefore, it is essential to confirm via internal digital palpation sufficient activity of the pelvic floor muscles in relation to the abdominal muscles.22
Certain details such as attitudes toward bathroom breaks, bladder habits throughout the day, and patient hygiene should be noted.
Many studies have results showing that pelvic floor muscle training is more effective than no treatment or placebo, however the degree of this improvement varies widely. A recent Cochrane Review analyzed 27 studies (through 2017) that investigated the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) compared to controls and found that women were far more likely to report subjective cure or improvement after following a comprehensive PFMT program. Percentages of participants reporting these outcomes varied from 35-74% depending on the nature of UI. Satisfaction and self-efficacy also generally improved in these groups.27
Digital palpation is used to assess the patient’s pelvic floor muscle strength for both males and females. There are currently two scales available in the literature to objectively document pelvic floor muscle strength. The Modified Oxford Scale developed by Laycock is a validated grading system used widely in clinics to document pelvic floor muscle strength.16,18,19 The Messelink Scale is not used often in the clinic setting, however the clinician should be familiar with this scale as it is used often in research.4 The Messelink Scale is correlated to the Modified Oxford Scale as shown in the table below:
Surface electromyography (sEMG), internally or externally, can be used to detect the electrical activity of the pelvic floor muscles measured in microvolts; this value is based on the outflow of motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord as the patient contracts and relaxes their pelvic floor muscles.
Bladder control problems like incontinence, overactive bladder, or interstitial cystitis. A blockage that prevents you from emptying your bladder. Some conditions may also cause you to have blood or protein in your urine. If you have a urinary problem, see your health care provider.
Your kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from your blood. The waste is called urea. Your blood carries it to the kidneys. From the kidneys, urine travels down two thin tubes called ureters to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until you are ready to urinate. It swells into a round shape when it is full and gets smaller when empty. If your urinary system is healthy, your bladder can hold up to 16 ounces (2 cups) of urine comfortably for 2 to 5 hours.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code R39.198 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Urinary retention, also known as ischuria, is an inability to completely empty the bladder. It is a common complication of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), though it can also be caused by:

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 788.20 was previously used, R33.9 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
