Abstract:
Spontaneous bladder rupture during vaginal delivery is a rare yet serious complication that requires prompt recognition and management to prevent life-threatening consequences. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with a previous cesarean section who developed concurrent uterine and bladder rupture following vaginal delivery after labor induction, a highly unusual occurrence. The presence of hematuria right before delivery, which worsened postpartum, raised suspicion for a bladder injury. Diagnosis was confirmed intraoperatively through laparotomy. Timely surgical repair was performed, leading to a favorable outcome and full recovery.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating...
