> What the hell is a "burst" vagina anyway??? Sounds like a big crock to me.
Amazing they way language can be used, so much for informed consent. Here is a nice definition: "Informed consent is the process by which a fully informed patient can participate in choices about her health care." Perhaps they were referring to a Vaginal fistula, a potential result of obstructed labour. As many as 2/2000 3rd world births. Previous abdominal surgery (I assume C/sect fits here) is the primry cause in the western world. http://www.womenshealthsection.com/content/urog/urogvvf002.php3 "Although the exact incidence of vesico-vaginal fistula in the United States is unknown, estimates range between 0.01 to 0.04% of gynecologic procedures. In developing countries vesico-vaginal fistulas are more common and are related to obstructed labor due to unattended deliveries, small pelvic dimensions, malpresentation, poor uterine contractions and introital stenosis. The primary cause of vesico-vaginal fistula in the United States is related to gynecologic surgery." -- My photos online @ http://community.webshots.com/user/mike1962nz My Group online @ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PSP_for_Photographers New Photo site@ Mike - http://mikelinz.dotphoto.com Lindsay - Http://likeminz.dotphoto.com "Life is a sexually transmitted condition with 100% mortality and birth is as safe as it gets."
