Medical approach to urinary retention after vaginal hysterectomy
Journal Title: Pelviperineology - Year 2020, Vol 39, Issue 3
Abstract
A 65 years old women presented with grade 3 descensus, grade 4 cystocele, grade 2 rectocele. The patient had no complaints of urinary incontinence. She underwent vaginal hysterectomy, colporrhaphy anterior, colporrhaphy posterior and sacrospinous fixation operations. On the postoperative first day, after removal of the catheter, the patient developed glob vesicale. The urinary retention was thought to be due to oedema secondary to surgical operation and urinary antiseptic and anti-inflammatory treatment was started. The catheter was removed 5 days later but re-inserted due to urinary retention. Alpha-adrenergic blocker (doxazosin) was added to the medical treatment. After 3 days, the catheter was removed, and spontaneous urination was observed and doxazosin treatment was stopped.
