Medical - Medical (general) / pelvic exam
Spanish term or phrase: globo vesical
I find this term in a description of a patient's gynecological examination. The doctor says "EF: utero y anexos normales ... globo vesical normal."

When I try to find out what this means by searching online, I find some other examples:

"...el abdomen se encontraba blando y sin globo vesical, "

also:

" se palpa una gran masa en el bajo vientre renitente, a tension , es un globo vesical (vejiga muy llena en retencion)... "

These and other examples still don't help me to solve this puzzle! What's the expression in English for 'globo vesical'? Or ... what does this doctor [from Mexico btw] mean by 'globo vesical normal'?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Muriel. This was a fascinating discussion ... it seems clear that 'globo vesical' is best rendered as 'vesical globe' (although maybe some would simply say 'vesical distention') but it is still not clear to me what our doctor meant by 'globo vesical normal'. Thank you again for your help - muito obrigado!

  -> What I think the author is saying is that there is a vesical globe (i.e. the bladder is distended) but it's not remarkable.

urinary bladder overdistension
Explanation:
Globo means "ball, globe": the urinary bladder may be perceived by palpation as a ball into the abdomen.

I do not know if an English corresponding term exists: usually I have found "overdistension"


Urinary retention and bladder overdistension may be missed surprisingly easily in the postoperative period especially with the altered sensorium that occurs with anesthetic and postoperative pain medications -

You may find some result searching "vesical globe", but the authors usually are not native speakers

Asker: Ciao Liz, and thank you for this additional posting; as you say it may help someone in the future. I always trust Gilberto's helpful answers. Almost two years later, though, I would still be confused by what this doctor was thinking.
