Ok, when I go to emergency room, they do not do any test.... Therefore it is kind of useless to go to the emergency room even though I can I use the bathroom, the emergency room doctors don't do anything when I go. What should I tell them in the emergency room, to get them to look at the problem??

Correction even though I CANNOT PEE

Brief Answer:
ER doctors will decide further treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
If you're able to go to the ER, and tell them , you're unable to pass urine, they'll examine and decide , if a catheter needs to be placed in the bladder.
That will solve your problem.
The tests to determine cause of block, will be done after that.
Wish you well.
