Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between labor duration and postpartum urinary retention in full-term mothers at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional, retrospective study on 306 full-term mothers who were monitored in labor at Department A2 from April 2023 to September 2023. Results: The average maternal age in the study was 28.10 ± 7.44 years, the average gestational age in the study was 39.49 ± 0.9 weeks. The average duration of urinary retention after vaginal delivery was 10.66 ± 3.50 hours, of which the duration of urinary retention after stage I of labor was 10.39 ± 3.57 hours (p>0.05), and that of stage II was 0.27 ± 0.15 hours (p=0.786). Conclusion: Although there was a rate of postpartum urinary retention in the study group, the results showed that there was no evidence that prolonged labor could cause postpartum urinary retention in women giving birth vaginally.
