They were classified into three groups: normal patients, those with overt urinary retention, and covert urinary retention. Their day 1 post\u2010partum post\u2010void residual bladder volume were recorded and analyzed with respect to the obstetric parameters. Patients with covert retention were followed up daily with ultrasound to monitor their post\u2010void residual volume.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> The incidences of overt and covert retention in our unit were 4.9% and 9.7%, respectively. The overall incidence of post\u2010partum urinary retention after vaginal delivery was 14.6%. The duration of the first and second stages of labor were significantly associated with the post\u2010partum post\u2010void residual bladder volume. In all patients with covert retention, their post\u2010void residual volume returned to normal within 4 days.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic> Post\u2010partum urinary retention is a common phenomenon that may be related to the process of parturition. Covert retention is a self\u2010limiting phenomenon and specific treatment is unnecessary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016349709024608","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,13]],"date-time":"2008-03-13T13:06:23Z","timestamp":1205413583000},"page":"667-672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":122,"title":["Urinary retention in the post\u2010partum period: The relationship between obstetric factors and the post\u2010partum post\u2010void residual bladder volume"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Shing\u2010Kai","family":"Yip","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geoffrey","family":"Brieger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin\u2010Yee","family":"Hin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tony","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,8,31]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"341","article-title":"Postpartum urinary retention","volume":"4","author":"Saultz J.
