The cost of surgery for urinary retention ranges from $5,000 to $30,000. Because urinary retention is only a symptom and not an exact disease, the cost of the surgery varies depending on the different causes of urinary retention and different treatment options.
Common causes of urinary retention are mainly the following:
1. Mechanical obstruction of the urethra or bladder opening caused by various organic lesions such as urethral lesions, inflammation, foreign bodies and stones. The cost of surgery is about 5,000 to 10,000 yuan.

Prostate diseases, such as acute prostatitis or abscess, prostate hyperplasia, prostate tumors, etc., or obstructive lesions of the bladder neck, such as bladder neck contracture, fibrosis, bladder tumors, etc. can lead to urinary retention. The cost of treatment is about 5 thousand to 20 thousand dollars.
3. Pelvic tumors and pregnancy can also cause urinary retention. If the urinary retention is caused by pelvic tumor the treatment cost is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. If the pregnancy is usually physiological urinary retention. The cost of treatment is about 5 thousand dollars.
4. Central and peripheral nervous system lesions, such as spinal cord or cauda equina injuries appear to be dysfunctional dynamics of urination caused by dynamic obstruction. If only cystostomy is performed, the cost is around 5 thousand dollars.
Therefore, it is important to seek prompt medical attention after urinary retention occurs to find out the cause of the disease and go for appropriate treatment.
