Area of Science:

  • Urogynecology
  • Pelvic Floor Disorders

Background:

  • Stress incontinence and genital prolapse are common conditions affecting women's quality of life.
  • Childbirth is a known risk factor for pelvic floor disorders, but specific obstetric factors require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify obstetric and demographic risk factors associated with corrective surgery for stress incontinence and genital prolapse.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study comparing 184 women who underwent surgery with 290 controls who did not.
  • Data collected included age, parity, delivery mode, birth weight, and use of delivery assistance.

Main Results:

  • Younger age at first delivery and smoking were identified as risk factors.

  • Women undergoing surgery had higher gravidity, parity, more vaginal deliveries, larger neonates, and increased use of forceps/vacuum extraction.
  • Four or more vaginal deliveries were associated with an 11.7-fold increased risk of needing corrective surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Multiple vaginal deliveries are a significant risk factor for developing stress incontinence and genital prolapse requiring surgical intervention.
    • Obstetric history, particularly the number of vaginal births, plays a crucial role in the development of pelvic floor disorders.
