Diagnosing urethral diverticulum (UD) in pregnant patients is crucial. Early detection and management of UD during pregnancy can prevent complications and improve maternal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology

Background:

  • Urethral diverticulum (UD) is an uncommon condition that can present unique challenges during pregnancy.
  • Understanding the clinical manifestations and diagnostic approaches for UD in pregnant individuals is essential for optimal patient care.

Observation:

  • Clinical presentations of UD in pregnancy include paraurethral mass, urinary incontinence, irritative voiding symptoms, and urinary tract infections.
  • Diagnosis during pregnancy utilized transvaginal ultrasonography and cystoscopy, with voiding cystourethrogram employed post-delivery.
  • Management strategies during pregnancy involved antibiotics, diverticulum aspiration, and incision and drainage.

Findings:

  • Delivery occurred vaginally in two cases, with one requiring diverticulum aspiration during labor.
  • Cesarean sections were performed in two cases for reasons unrelated to the urethral diverticulum.

  • Three women underwent successful diverticulectomy postpartum due to persistent symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management of urethral diverticulum are vital in pregnant patients.
    • Awareness of UD can mitigate potential complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
    • Surgical intervention may be necessary postpartum for symptomatic relief.
