Abstract:
The majority of urogynaecological problems can manifest during pregnancy or as a direct result of pregnancy and delivery. Those most commonly occurring during pregnancy are urinary tract infection, filling and voiding disorders, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and faecal incontinence. The development of these may be as a result of physiological changes that occur in pregnancy or as a result of previous pregnancies. There may also be urogynaecological sequelae that occur as a result of trauma sustained during delivery. These include perineal and anal sphincter trauma, bladder or ureteric injuries during caesarean section or operative deliveries, and the development of vesico-vaginal or recto-vaginal fistulae.
