Have you seen a case where a woman after delivery starts wearing diapers because she can no longer hold her urine???
Okay incase you havenโt seen or heard
Read it now
That condition is called obstetric fistula
obstetric fistula is a hole between the va**na and the bladder or re**um, through which urine or stool leaks continuously.
Women having Fistula are often treated like outcast because of the offensive smell that comes out from their body.
Now this condition is as a result of complications from prolonged obstructed LABOUR
Things that can lead to prolong obstructed Labour include
the baby being too large to come through the mother's pelvic
Some of you will see how the size of your baby is in scan and doctor is telling you itโs too big but no you want to prove a point
Another cause is when baby in not properly positioned before Labour set in etc.
To prevent this, if youโre pregnant make sure you attend all your antenatal appointments
When labour steps in visit a certified midwife
And if youโre having a prolonged delivery please listen to your doctor on the possible intervention for you
Please this obstetric fistula is not caused by โvillage peopleโ because some cultures believe the gods are punishing the woman for her sins
If your baby is too big and your doctor says surgery please accept in good faith
that belief every woman must push her baby through the va**na should be done away with.
It is also good to know that the condition is not a death sentence because it is treatable.
I learnt some govt facilities do free surgeries for affected mothers
