Violations of urination, especially after extirpation of the uterus, are a common complication of the postoperative period. They manifest as frequent urination or urinary retention, but patients usually feel the urge to urinate. These complications are amenable to drug therapy and physical therapy. We observed a patient who, after the operation of extirpation of the uterus, did not urinate and did not feel the urge to urinate. They appeared only two months after the operation as a result of acupuncture.
