Clinical Study on Postpartum Urinary Retention with Compound Chinese Medicine

Abstract

Postpartum urinary retention is a common complication in obstetrics; its incidence in spontaneous labor is on average 14% [1], while the incidence in midwifery is as high as 26% to 38% [2]. If the treatment is not timely, postpartum urinary retention will affect the contraction of the uterus and aggravate postpartum hemorrhage, affect the restoration of postpartum reproductive organs, can also lead to urinary tract infection, and bring physical and mental pain to the puerperal [3].
