Both vaginal and cesarean deliveries can cause urinary disorders after childbirth, which affect women's lives. These disorders may include postpartum urinary retention, frequent urination, urgency, and other mixed urinary disturbances.

Postpartum urinary retention is one of the common complications, particularly in women who deliver vaginally. These women may experience a strong urge to urinate but are unable to do so. Clinical examination typically reveals a soft abdomen with a well-contracted uterine fundus, along with an additional palpable mass, which is the distended bladder.

Urinary retention is a very common condition in women after giving birth. It causes discomfort and affects the daily activities of the sufferer. Although it is a common condition, many people still do not know clearly whether urinary retention after giving birth is dangerous or not.
