A recent study by the Department of Reproductive Health at the World Health Organization showed that there are up to 40 million women suffering from postpartum health problems annually, and they are often long-term, according to what the medical journal “Thelancet” reported.
This means that one in every 3 women has a health problem lasting from months to years, due to pregnancy and childbirth.
The researchers reported that 35% of women suffer from dyspareunia after childbirth, 32% from lower back pain, 19% from anal incontinence, and 31% from urinary incontinence, quoted by the 24 website.
Problems that extend after childbirth included: anxiety, which affects between 9% and 24% of women, depression, which affects between 11% and 17%, fear of childbirth, which affects between 6% and 15%, and secondary infertility, which affects 11%.
Dr Pascal Allotti, Director of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research at the World Health Organization, said: “Many postpartum conditions cause great suffering in a woman’s daily life long after giving birth, both emotionally and physically, yet they are largely unappreciated and underreported.” enough”.
The research team reviewed literature and guidelines for doctors and health workers over the past 12 years and found no recent, high-quality guidelines to support effective treatment for 40% of the 32 priority conditions they analyzed in their study.
The results said the lack of attention to such basic issues helps explain why 121 out of 185 countries have failed to make significant progress in reducing maternal deaths over the past two decades.
