Can nerve damage be repaired from bladder retention?

Nerve damage caused by bladder retention can sometimes be repaired, depending on the severity and duration of the condition. If the nerve damage is not extensive and the underlying cause of the bladder retention is addressed, there may be a chance for recovery. Treatment options may include medications, catheterization, or surgery, along with physical therapy. However, in some cases, nerve damage may be permanent, and management of symptoms may be necessary.
