Urinary retention in late pregnancy is helped by induced voiding and catheterization. With the growing fetus in late pregnancy, the uterus compresses the bladder more significantly, resulting in bladder dysfunction, the bladder forcing muscle is unable to force the urine out of the bladder to form urination, and urine accumulates in the bladder and then manifests as urinary retention. Urinary retention in late pregnancy is first dealt with by inducing urination. Pregnant women can be asked to listen to the sound of running water, rinse the area around the urethra with warm boiled water, and apply hot compresses and massage to the bladder area, which may help the patient to urinate. For those who cannot be induced to urinate, a catheter may be placed in the bladder by catheterization, which can also improve the discomfort of urinary retention. Specific treatment should be prescribed by a doctor.
