Displacements of the bladder include torsion, retroflexion and eversion through the urethra. Urnine stasis that occurs secondarily to displacements predisposes the urinary tract to infection.

Bladder Retroflexion

==Bladder Eversion

through the urethra

  • The short, wide urethra of females permits prolapse of the bladder.
  • Follows straining, especially during parturition.
  • If severe and not replaced, necrosis can occur due to obstruction of the vasculature.
  • The bladder can also prolapse through a vaginal tear.
