Can postpartum urinary retention be cured?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

1) Heat application: Apply heat to the suprapubic bladder area and perineum. This method is often effective for patients with shorter duration of urinary retention and less severe bladder fullness. Hot water baths can also be used. If the urge to urinate is felt in the hot water, try to urinate in the water. Do not insist on urinating outside the tub to prevent losing the opportunity for spontaneous urination.
