Abstract

An uncommon obstetric emergency called acute urine retention (AUR) in patients with retroverted uteri necessitates prompt treatment. If left untreated, it could result in major difficulties for the mother or the fetus. Between weeks 9 and 16 of gestation, the frequency of AUR peaked in healthy pregnancies. The female patient, age 31, who came with urinary hesitancy is discussed in this publication. A palpable urinary bladder was found during a physical examination. An intrauterine pregnancy was shown to be viable by obstetric ultrasonography and the uterine was retroflexed. With the implantation of a urinary catheter for one week, prophylactic antibiotics for one week, and follow-up with urology, the patient's symptoms disappeared. The most frequent cause of AUR is a retroverted uterus. Rapid identification and diagnosis are necessary. The risk factors, etiology, and clinical manifestation of AUR in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy should be known to clinicians.
