Abstract

Purpose To report a case of a 34-year-old female with endometriosis and a complication presented with gross hematuria due to bladder injury after transvaginal oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization. Case Report A 34-year-old woman with endometriosis presented with gross hematuria 4 days after oocyte retrieval and was conservatively followed up. Results As an uncommon emerging situation after oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization procedure, gross hematuria is pointed as a complication with an endometriosis patient. Conclusions Although a transvaginal approach is accepted as a safe and simpler technique for oocyte retrieval, complications like adjacent organ injury should be kept in mind. Especially in patients with endometriosis, in whom pelvic anatomy is distorted due to adhesions, oocyte pick-up procedure should be carried out more carefully.
