Some of us already know this evil in our elders, after vaginal delivery, pelvic floor disorders may developor as urinary or fecal incontinence or genital prolapse.
Exactly the mechanism that relates to childbirth with these disorders is not known, but it is known that with age and the loss of the musculature of the area, it is one of the most frequent disorders in women.
The study published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, states that a woman who has given birth through natural childbirth, has a risk of suffering a pelvic floor alteration twice as much as the baby has had by caesarean section. Thus, for every child that is naturally taken, the risk increases. The researchers propose a single prevention strategy, which would be to practice more caesarean sections, but we already know that this is not a solution and that the risks can be worse for both the mother and the baby.
Some experts also value that not practicing episiotomy would avoid potential damage to the anal sphincter, but against it would favor genital prolapse.
The conclusion is that research should continue to develop effective prevention strategies.
