Notas del editor
- There is more to global health, public health, medicine than saving people from death Warning: disturbing material, prepare yourselves mentally
- Vesicouterine- between the uterus and the bladder Vesicovaginal- between the bladder and the vagina - easiest to repair, most common fistula Urethrovaginal- between the urethra and the vagina Rectovaginal- between the rectum and the vagina
- Although OF can be caused by trauma (especially in war torn areas)
- Obstructed labor can last for days and will result in the suffocation of the fetus if immediate c-section is not aquired. The head puts pressure on the bladder and rectum (along the dotted lines) weakening the tissues, when the fetus dies, its liquids corrode this area causing the fistula channels to form. Often results from narrow pelvis. Interesting- male babies are more likely to cause this than female babies
- Primipara more likely to get obstetric fistula
- Women in the developed world can get obstetric fistula, and can develop minor incontinence, due to the effective obstetric care, there is little damage compared to these women
- These women live in areas that only value them for their ability to give birth and have a child
- This is five to ten times as much as people in these countries make in a year Even if a woman has the funds, she may not know about her surgical options
- Low socio - women not valued in their communities 2. Malnutrition - boys usually get most healthcare, money and education 3. Early marriage- ethiopia (25), uganda (42), mali (45) girls married and give birth by 18 4. Genital mutilation - weakens tissue 5. Obstructed labor - at the mercy of the local healer, overhydration 6. Lack of emergency - no transportation, limited options 7. Incontinence 8. Stigma - they smell bad 9. Footdrup - nerve damage from urine causes women to not be able to tell where there foot is 10. Isolation - hut story 11. Worsening - marginalizing the marginalized, forced to become beggars or prostitutes, they lose the little control they had
