There are several: causes of post-void residual urine in women. There can causes of increased post-void urinary retention in women: obstruction typically caused by organ (uterus/bladder/rectum) prolapse (weakening of support from stretching/injury often related to childbirth), pelvic mass (fibroids, other growths/tumors); hormonal (estrogen deficiency);medication; nerve function. Some are treatable...work with Doc!
