Postpartum urinary retention (PUR), defined as urinary retention after the delivery, is a common condition that can easily disappear spontaneously. Although this problem could cause stress to the women, PUR has not been clearly described and explored
its causes and symptoms like postpartum urinary incontinence due to the self-limiting condition without treatment. There were not enough reports about this subject in the literature. In this report PUR is reviewed with the literature.
