> This is the FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT thing you will discover as you go from 18 years to the rest of your life: YOU have got to be in CONTROL of your health care, or nothing will ever be done. Like those tests that Larry Hoover talked about, go back in there and demand that they be done.

I didn't realize football's age. Urinary retention in an eighteen year old should raise a red flag.

Football, you will likely get better results going to a different doctor, e.g. an emergency room. If your urinary retention leads to discomfort, then it must be brought under control. If allowed to persist, permanent changes in your urinary tract can occur, including kidney damage. If nothing else, as you age, your vulnerability to things like urinary incontinence will increase dramatically.

If, following a full examination, a doctor judges that your urinary retention is within safe limits, that's well and good. But, that conclusion cannot be reached without an exam. And, the treatments are well known and quite effective.

Please, don't let your doctor's ignorance limit your treatment. That's why people get second opinions.
