A 30 years old women present to my clinic with acute urinary retention after 25 days post operative c section.. ultrasound revealed over distension of bladder .. I admit her to the hospital for catheterization after emptying the bladder from urine there was a pure blood in the catheter I did her a bladder wash but there is stool bleeding .. I gave here antibiotics also What s your opinion ?
Hello and welcome to HCM. presence of blood and stool in bladder is suggestive of a vesico-colic fistula.that's,injury to bladder and intestine,commonly colon(large intestine). As a C-section was performed before 25 days, it's most likely there was a surgical complication then. She must remain on catheter with antibiotic cover and get tested for exact cause of the fistula.The tests done are a contrast CT scan of abdomen and pelvis and cystoscopy after it.Further treatment will depend on the reports. do contact me if in any doubt.
