Postpartum urinary retention: Evaluation of risk factors
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: Postpartum urinary retention means the absence of spontaneous micturition more than 6 hours after birth or when residual volume after urination is less than 150 cc. If neglected, postpartum urinary retention may result in bladder denervation and detrusor muscle weakness requiring intermittent catheterization or permanent micturition dysfunction. Our goal was to identify the possible risk factors for postpartum urinary retention. Materials and Methods: Five hundred sixty female subjects were included in this retrospective study. All data obtained including variables such as age, parity, body mass index, duration of labor, prepartum bladder catheterization were compared between female subjects with and without postpartum urinary retention. Results: Among the 560 patients recruited to our study, 124 (22.1%) had postpartum urinary retention. Third stage duration, time from birth to the first void, and number of peripartum micturitions were found to be potential risk factors for postpartum urinary retention. Different than other studies, our study revealed a correlation between peripartum catheterization and postpartum urinary retention. There were no statistically significant differences between patients with and without postpartum urinary retention in terms of other variables. Conclusion: In this study, a correlation between peripartum catheterization and postpartum urinary retention was found. There are studies that reported the possible risk factors related to the occurrence of postpartum urinary retention. More studies should be conducted to investigate long-term results with larger populations.
