Advanced Urology
Can't pee at all?
Then we can find and treat the cause.
Even if it gets better on its own, get checked soon.
Woodstock patients can book with us at our Canton Clinic on Riverstone Blvd or our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center.
Afterward, book a follow-up visit with Advanced Urology.
If you can't pass urine and your bladder feels full or painful, go to an emergency room. A catheter drains the bladder and relieves pressure quickly. Once things are stable, follow up with our team so we can find out why it happened.
Woodstock patients can be seen at our Canton office or our Marietta Clinic & Surgery Center. We'll ask what led up to the episode, including cold medicines, pain pills, alcohol or recent surgery, review your prostate symptoms if you're a man, and check how well your bladder empties.
For men, prostate enlargement is a frequent culprit; medicines, UroLift, Aquablation and TURP are among the fixes. Nerve problems, constipation and some medicines can also stop the bladder from emptying, and InterStim may help some people with retention. We'll explain what applies to you.
Sometimes. If the catheter drained a large amount, it often stays in for several days, and then a trial without it checks whether you can empty on your own. Medicine for an enlarged prostate is often started during that time.
Our number for Woodstock, Towne Lake and Holly Springs callers is (678) 344-8900.
Women can have retention too, sometimes from pelvic organ prolapse, nerve conditions or medicines. Whatever the cause, we'll check how much urine stays behind after you void and use that to guide next steps, with a plan for follow-up so it doesn't happen again.
Ask our team about any medicine questions at the follow-up; we'll give you instructions then.
Bring a list of all your medicines to the follow-up visit.
We'll explain each test before it's done.
Start with the condition page, then call or book online whenever you are ready.
