Vaginal tissues, especially those supporting the bladder, are often injured. This may result in surgery to correct urinary incontinence. If the operation fails, some women are left with this problem for the rest of their lives. Studies also show that doctors do not always adequately repair vaginal and rectal tears. Faced with these pros and cons, it's interesting to note what happens in Brazil.
Brazil has a two-tiered medical system and money often dictates the route of obstetrical delivery.
A report in The Journal Society Obstetrics And Gynecology Canada has shocking figures. This results in the death of one to two women per 1,000 caesareans. But some women also die from operations to repair the damage of vaginal birth. I would suggest it's female obstetricians. In 1996, female obstetricians in London, England, were asked this simple question.
