Pelvic fullness: "Mild pelvic fullness" is a non specific borderline finding which may be normal. It means there maybe slightly more urine in the renal pelvis, which drains the kidney, than expected. Less likely, it could indicate a low grade or early obstruction. Post void residual is the amount of urine in the bladder after voiding. 24cc is minimal and probably normal.
