Anischuria

Definition

A medical condition involving difficulty or inability to urinate, sometimes called anuria or related to abnormal urine flow.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Anischuria is a word that shows how doctors in the past tried to name every tiny variation of illness by combining Greek roots—even before they understood what actually caused urinary problems!
