Postpartum urinary retention

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If urinary retention occurs, methods such as applying heat to the bladder area and acupuncture can be used. For women who have retained a urinary catheter during menstruation, the catheter can be gradually removed by first allowing timed emptying of the bladder to restore the bladder's muscle contraction function. Encourage the patient to void voluntarily. If this is still not effective, neostigmine can be administered via intramuscular injection.
