Post-partum urinary retention, particularly covert retention, is a common complication of labor and delivery in our clinical practice but is rarely reported in the published work, especially from this part of the world. No factor has been found to be independently associated with its occurrence, hence there is need for vigilance in the immediate post-partum period as most cases of urinary retention would have been avoided if women were encouraged to void early following delivery.

“…[11] Postpartum retention occurs in a range of 0.1–14.1% after vaginal delivery and up to 24.1% after cesarean delivery. [121314] We observed that postoperative and postpartum patients may still be prone to AUR following discharge. The therapeutic approach to such emergencies is straightforward and usually does not necessitate further diagnostic evaluations.…”

Objectives:Acute urinary retention (AUR) in females is a poorly defined condition with undetermined epidemiology. This study aimed to evaluate female AUR in an outpatient population.Patients and Methods:One hundred and thirty-eight adult female outpatients who presented to the emergency room with symptoms of urinary retention were retrospectively analyzed. The women who were ultimately diagnosed with true, complete AUR were systematically reviewed for clinical characteristics and management.Results:In this outpatient cohort with urinary retention complaints, only 23% of the patients were diagnosed with objective AUR. Detailed medical and urological history in addition to urogenital, neurological, and pelvic examinations was essential; urine analysis and pelvic ultrasonography were necessary as baseline investigations. Further radiological and urodynamic tests were required in a minority. Specific etiology was established in 77% of the patients, whereas there was more than one probable cause in 16% of the patients, and no specific cause was found in 6.5% of the patients. Bladder decompression and correction of the underlying cause helped 92.6% of the reviewed patients to eventually achieve spontaneous micturition.Conclusions:The proportion of true, complete AUR among female outpatients presenting to the emergency department was 23% following urological evaluation. Acute condition was resolved by urgent catheterization in all, and the majority of women had eventually resumed spontaneous voiding.
