Re: C-section versus vaginal delivery (percentages)

Let me ask, since we're talking about c-sections, whether anyone (especially from Brasil) who has a very high rate of c-sections has any information about subsequent pelvic relaxation and urinary incontinence.

I would think that a population of women who had MANY c-sections would have a LOW incidence of pelvic floor defects. Is this clinically apparent?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
