On the other end of the spectrum, cancer in the bladder may present with urinary retention. Complications include an inability to urinate when the urge arises, trouble initiating a urine stream, interrupted urination, and straining when attempting to empty the bladder. The individual might also feel the urge to urinate immediately after emptying the bladder. Urinary retention is often a result of obstruction of the urinary tract by the tumor or the development of blood clots in the bladder.
