message: Needs references; see those mentioned above.
Statements such as “Some consider this point to be controversial and see it more as an economic access issue instead of a cultural issue,” “This is an opinion held by both men and women in various parts of the world,” and “In many instances, women do not consider their local hospitals and clinics to be places where they could ever seek such care and therefore do not go when there is an obstetrical emergency” are opinion without supporting citations and should be removed if not referenced.
Under Risk factors,
A 1993 Nigerian study is mentioned with no citation.  This should be referenced.
Much of the information in this section should be referenced as it comes across as opinion.

thread_title: Causes

message: This section would benefit from mention of the Fistula Care Project, aimed at preventing this disorder: http://www.fistulacare.org/pages/what-is-fistula/prevention.php
:I plan to expand this section using information from reports by sources such as the United Nations (http://www.endfistula.org/webdav/site/endfistula/shared/documents/reports/67th%20UNGA%20-%20Report%20of%20the%20Secretary-General%20on%20Supporting%20efforts%20to%20end%20obstetric%20fistula.pdf) and the UNFPA (http://www.unfpa.org/fistula/docs/fistula-needs-assessment.pdf), since only two sources are currently cited. --Kayceeho (talk) 07:40, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Prevention

message: The groups mentioned here should have links to their sites provided: www.un.org/popin/icpd2.htm and www.unfpa.org
The NY Times’ columnist, also mentioned, should have his work cited as well.BSW BV (talk) 13:20, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Society and culture

message: I created and posted a new medical illustration to accompany the page. I posted it below the main info box containing the original diagram. I welcome any feedback. VHenryArt (talk) 20:17, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Illustration Added 

message: Hello! I've noticed that this article describes the physiological aspect of the obstetric fistula quite detail. I believe the information is comprehensive and well-cited. I am hoping to primarily add to the Society and Culture section. The section discusses the UN Millennium Development Goals’ focus on the fistula but does not include the Sustainable Development Goals’ targets. It also does not discuss policies that countries adopted after the early 2000’s to provide better treatment for fistulas. The list of community organizations providing treatment and advocating on the fistula is also rather brief. I would like to add to this section by discussing organizations and their varied focus on ameliorating the factors surrounding the fistula (lack of resources, stigma, poverty, etc).
