Failure to void in labour: postnatal urinary and anal incontinence
British Journal of Midwifery, 09/15/09
Birch L et al. – The main outcome measures were urinary incontinence symptoms and anal incontinence symptoms. Prolonged periods of time in labour without emptying the bladder was associated with increased rates of postnatal urinary incontinence and may also contribute to anal incontinence. Postnatal urinary incontinence may be reduced if intrapartum bladder care policies reflect frequent emptying. This preliminary data supports large–scale exploration of the association between postnatal anal incontinence and bladder emptying in labour.
