I have been advised to go for a 'retrograde urethrogram' examination for urine retention in the bladder. Pls. advise, if anybody knows.

Is it very painful? It is not done at any diagnostic centres. Is it really necessary, which are the hospitals at Borivali in Mumbai doing this? Kind advise please. Why urine retention in elderly people?

If it's a minor activity, why even the famous diagnostic centres like NM Medical Centre, SRL Diagnostics Ltd and even some hospitals are not doing this?

Thank you. I don't know where it is done. Many places where I asked, they told they are not doing, so also even many hospitals. Think I should go to the urology dept of any big hospital like Hinduja, Raheja, etc.

Thank you very much. I, in fact went to consult another urologist from Bombay Hospital, but he is stated to be out of station and expected to be back only on 20th June.

Sir, I am also from there only though I am currently staying and working in Mumbai. When I come there after a couple of months, I am thinking of visiting Amrita Hospital at Kochi. I am trying simple herbal and ayurvedic methods also.
