Artwork of enlarged bladder in urinary retention
Urine retention. Illustration of an enlarged male bladder caused by acute retention of urine. At upper centre is the enlarged bladder (red). Two ureter tubes (white, upper left and right) pass urine from the kidneys to the bladder. At lower centre is the prostate gland (pink); a pair of seminal vesicles (white) are above the prostate; tubes of the vas deferens are seen above the seminal vesicles. Urine retention is the inability to empty the bladder or difficulty in doing so. It may be due to bladder stones, phimosis (tight foreskin), or prostate tumour. It may also occur in pregnancy. A catheter may be used to drain the bladder, before treating the underlying condition

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases an enlarged male bladder caused by acute urine retention. At the center of the print, we are drawn to the vivid red depiction of the swollen bladder, representing a condition that hinders its ability to empty properly. The two ureter tubes, elegantly illustrated in white on the upper left and right sides, carry urine from the kidneys into this engorged organ. Moving towards the lower center, our attention is captured by a pink prostate gland surrounded by a pair of seminal vesicles in white. Above these structures lie tubes known as vas deferens. Together, they form an intricate network within the male reproductive system. Urine retention can arise due to various factors such as bladder stones, phimosis (tight foreskin), or even prostate tumors. This condition may also manifest during pregnancy. To alleviate discomfort and address underlying issues effectively, medical professionals often employ catheters to drain excess urine from the bladder before initiating appropriate treatment. Science Photo Library has masterfully transformed scientific knowledge into art with this visually striking representation of urinary retention's impact on one's health and well-being. Through this thought-provoking print, we gain insight into both anatomical intricacies and potential disorders that affect our urinary system—an invaluable resource for medical practitioners and enthusiasts alike.
