CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE There is uncertainty in the literature regarding the theory that obstetric events and pelvic floor injuries give rise to lower risk of subsequent urinary incontinence among women delivering via cesarean section than among women delivering vaginally. The objective of this study was to assess the two-year postpartum prevalence of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and the factors responsible for them. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study, conducted in a public university. METHODS 220 women who had undergone elective cesarean section or vaginal childbirth two years earlier were selected. Their urinary incontinence symptoms were investigated, and their pelvic floor muscle dysfunction was assessed using digital palpation and a perineometer. RESULTS The two-year urinary incontinence prevalences following vaginal childbirth and cesarean section were 17% and 18.9%, respectively. The only risk factor for pelvic floor muscle dysfunction was weight gain during pregnancy. Body mass index less than 25 kg/m 2 and normal pelvic floor muscle function protected against urinary incontinence. Gestational urinary incontinence increased the risk of two-year postpartum urinary incontinence. CONCLUSION Gestational urinary incontinence was a crucial precursor of postpartum urinary incontinence. Weight gain during pregnancy increased the subsequent risk of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and elective cesarean section did not prevent urinary incontinence.

Background: Maternal mental status has been thought to be affected by the delivery modes. We examined the relation between delivery modes and the mental status of women who delivered at our institute in Japan. Methods: Data were collected from the medical charts of 643 primiparous women without a history of mental disorders who delivered singleton babies and underwent a 1-month postpartum check-up at our institute from September 2018 to June 2019. The maternal mental status was examined based on the scores of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS). Results: The rate of high scores of the EPDS and the MIBS in women choosing elective cesarean section were higher than in women with vaginal delivery and emergency cesarean section. Conclusion: Mental health care may be necessary for women choosing elective cesarean section.

AbstrakPada masa sekarang ini telah terjadi perubahan tren dalam persalinan, yaitu berupa peningkatan angka seksio sesarea. Peningkatan ini dipengaruhi berbagai faktor seperti: adanya kekhawatiran akan terjadinya cedera janin, peningkatan permintaan ibu untuk melakukan persalinan seksio sesarea, serta faktor sosioekonomi. Beberapa penelitian justru menunjukkan seksio sesarea dapat menimbulkan morbiditas pada bayi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan kondisi bayi antara persalinan normal dan seksio sesarea elektif dilihat dari nilai Apgar Penelitian dilaksanakan dari Mei 2014 sampai Januari 2014 di bagian rekam medis RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang.. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah analitik dengan desain cross-sectional study. Sampel dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari 179  pasien dengan persalinan normal dan 56 pasien dengan seksio sesarea. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada menit pertama nilai Apgar 4-6 adalah 3,4% pada persalinan normal. Nilai Apgar 7-10 sebanyak 96,6% pada persalinan normal dan 100% pada seksio sesarea pada menit pertama. Pada menit kelima, nilai Apgar 4-6 adalah 1,1% pada persalinan normal, sedangkan nilai Apgar 7-10 sebanyak 98,9% pada persalinan normal dan 100% pada seksio sesarea pada menit kelima. Setelah dilakukan analisis dengan mann-whitney test didapatkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan nilai Apgar pada menit-1 (p=0,777) dan menit-5 (p=0,887) antara persalinan normal dengan seksio sesarea.Kata kunci: persalinan normal, seksio sesarea elektif, nilai Apgar AbstractIn recent years, cesarean section have increased. Several factor are contributing, such as fears of injury to the fetus, increased women's request to do a cesarean section deliveries and socioeconomic factors. Some studies have also shown that cesarean section can lead to morbidity in infants. The objective of this study was to compare between Apgar scores of infant born by elective cesarean section and normal vaginal deliveries. The research was done from May 2013 to January 2014 at the medical records department of general hospital center Dr. M. Djamil Padang. This was an analytic study with cross-sectional study design. This study used 179 samples with normal vaginal delivery and 56 samples with cesarean section. The result showed that 1st minute Apgar score of 4-6 in normal vaginal delivery was 3.4%, and Apgar score 7-10 was 96.6% in normal vaginal delivery while in cesarean section was 100%. The 5th minute Apgar score of  4-6 in normal vaginal delivery was 1.1%, and Apgar score 7-10 was 98.9% in normal vaginal delivery while in cesarean section was 100%. After being analyzed using Mann-Whitney test, the study showed that there was no significant different in Apgar score of neonates born through normal vaginal delivery and neonates born trough cesarean section at first minute (p=0.777) and fifth minute (p=0.887).Keywords: normal vaginal delivery, elective cesarean section, Apgar score

ABSTRACT Aim To assess the indications of emergency vs elective cesarean section in patients at Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Materials and methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 675 women who underwent cesarean section in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of the Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan over a period of 2 months. Sociodemographic features, type of cesarean, and their indications were recorded on a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23. Results A total of 675 women underwent cesarean section during the study period. The emergency cesarean section rate was 70.4%, while elective cesarean constituted of 29.6% cases. The most common indications for emergency cesarean were fetal distress (43.2%) followed by previous cesarean (19.2%) and failure to progress (9.3%), while that for elective cesarean were previous cesarean (41%) and malpresentation (24.5%). Conclusion Fetal distress and previous scar are the leading causes of cesarean section in our study. The improvement of maternal and child health facilities at basic health units, appropriate training of lady health workers and midwives, timely involvement of senior obstetrician, and formation of strict policies regarding cesarean section can have a profound effect in decreasing the rate of cesarean section. Clinical significance This study can prove to be of profound value in getting an insight into the continuously increasing rate of cesarean section. In developing countries like Pakistan, these increasing cesarean deliveries prove to be a burden on the already-constrained resources.

Background and Aim: Cesarean section rates are rising around the globe and are considered as the major surgical procedure conducted on females. Cesarean-related hemorrhage contributes to increasing mortality rates around the world. Due to the rise in cesarean rate and its associated complications, post-cesarean severe bleeding without proper management is a major concern. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the intravenous tranexamic acid (TA) and sublingual misoprostol effect on reducing post-cesarean section bleeding. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 146 term pregnant women undergoing emergency or elective cesarean section at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical Complex, Noshehra during the period from 7th September 2020 to 6th March 2021. All the participants were randomly categorized into two groups. Each group comprised of 73 participants whereas groups I and II received sublingual misoprostol (600 µg) and 500 mg intravenous tranexamic at card clamping respectively. Both groups were administrated for postoperative 48 hours and blood loss was measured. The packed cell volume and postoperative Hb were evaluated and compared with initial values before surgery. The need for blood transfusion, drug side effects, and additional uterotonics was evaluated. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of groups I and II were 28.32±4.73 and 28.17±4.83 years whereas the overall mean age was 28.25±4.78years. A higher reduction of hemoglobin level was observed in an intravenous tranexamic group compared to the sublingual group (-2.39±0.93 versus -2.09±1.28g/dL) (p=0.001). Moreover, the intravenous tranexamic group had significantly higher blood suction and gauze usage than sublingual misoprostol (256.73± 83.25versus 189.68± 102.4 cubic centimeter (cc) and 4.59±1.43 versus 3.19±1.27) for a significant value of 0.001. The decrease in mean blood pressure during the cesarean section procedure was significant in intravenous tranexamic than sublingual misoprostol (p=0.001). Conclusion: Our study concluded that sublingual misoprostol significantly reduced total bleeding when compared to tranexamic acid. Furthermore, hemodynamic variables were stabilized more in the misoprostol group than in the tranexamic acid group.
