Acute Urinary Retention in a Patient With Heart Failure and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Case Report
This case report discusses the presentation, management, and complications of acute urinary retention in a 70-year-old male with a history of heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The case highlights the occurrence of post-catheterization hypotension, a known but poorly understood phenomenon, and underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing patients with complex medical conditions.
