A 36-year-old nulliparous female presented to the Emergency Department with a<br>history of severe lower abdominal pain and an inability to pass urine for the last 8<br>hours. Abdominal examination revealed a tender palpable bladder midway<br>between the pubic symphysis and umbilicus. The rest of the clinical assessment<br>including medication history, gynecological examination, and neurological<br>assessment was unremarkable. Serum electrolytes, urea, creatinine, and calcium<br>were all within normal limits. A large distended bladder, as well as a pelvic mass,<br>was visualized on point-of-care ultrasonography. An abdominal CT scan that was<br>requested after insertion of a size 14 French urinary catheter reported the<br>presence of a large posterior uterine wall mass (10,5 cm x 10,6 cm), anterior<br>displacement of the urinary bladder, and mild (grade I) bilateral<br>hydronephrosis/hydroureter. After being transferred to the gynecology ward, she<br>later underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy where she was discharged with<br>no residual urinary symptoms. Histology confirmed a uterine leiomyoma (fibroid)<br>as the cause of the obstruction.<br>Make an NCP with regard to the case scenario above<br>
