A 26-year-old woman followed the course approximately similar to the Case one. She experienced urinary retention requiring urethral catheterization, which drained 900 ml of clear urine, at 12 weeks of her first pregnancy. Transvaginal sonography also revealed a retroverted uterus. The same prophylactic measures were suggested to the patient. Until 14 weeks’ gestation, urinary retention requiring urethral catheterization recurred two times. At 16 weeks’ gestation, the gravid uterus was examined and no retroversion was observed anymore. She had no recurrence of urinary retention during the rest of this pregnancy. Two years later, she consulted our hospital again due to urinary retention at 11 weeks of her second pregnancy.
Case 3: A 31-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 3 para 1, abortion 1) at 14 + 5 wk of gestation presented with constipation and no bowel movements for 10 d and was admitted to the Obstetrics Department on February 8, 2011.
