What Causes Inability To Empty The Bladder Completely?

Hi, I am having problem emptying my bladder completely.last week urologist told me I am holding about 90 cc and yesterday I went to another doctor ,he tested and I was holding 145 cc.they told me put my hands under belly area ns put pressure. First doctor told me take cranberry juice.second Dcotor told me avoid cranberry and vineager as they irritate bladder. I am 62 healthy but have a vaginal atrophy issue. So this not emptying bladder is a new problem for me now.

Dear- thanks for using our service, I read your question in detail and will help you with my medical advise.It is important to find out what is giving you this bladder problem.Sometimes, mostly in diabetics, there is a neurogenic bladder, which means that it does not contracts the way it should and is harder to get urine out ,for which you have a residual volume in the bladder after you urinate.Other possibility is a problem with the urinary outlet, or any outlet obstruction due to enlarged uterus,fibroid ,etc. However,there are treatments for this, so get an urologist recommendations.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
