[Postpartum-urinary retention. A report of two cases and a review of literature].
The urinary retention is rather banal during the postpartum: 0.45 to 17.9% and now we know the main risk factors: duration of labour, epidural, episiotomy. Diagnosed on time, the postpartum-urinary retention will not have any consequence; on the other hand, a delay in care can lead to a persisting urinary retention with possible long-term urinary sequels. This article, based on two cases reports and a literature review, shows the heterogeneity in medical care of the postpartum-urinary retention.
