“…However, CS has been suggested as a cause of chronic (intra-) pelvic pain [3]. Results from the present cohort have been reported elsewhere and the prevalence of persistent LBPP after pregnancy was previously estimated to be 43% [14][15][16][17].…”

“…Various studies have confirmed that there is higher incidence of PPH, postpartum infection, chronic abdominal pain, rehospitalisation after elective caesarean section performed in nulliparous low risk women compared to that after vaginal delivery [27][28][29]. Babies are also vulnerable to unnecessary risks from rising CS rates.…”

“…When comparing NVD and CS, Torkan et al, found those with NVD reported higher marks in all areas assessing quality of life except "satisfaction towards delivery". They concluded that CS did not improve the quality of life for the mother postpartum [14].…”

“…Almeida et al, (2002) in a study of 199 women found that 67.2% of women experiencing chronic pelvic pain had a history of CS [10]. Fabris et al, (2011) concluded that chronic pelvic pain was more relevant after a CS compared to NVD, although pelvic pain is common with both [11].…”

Purpose: To determine the incidence and impact of pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and colorectal distress and quality of life by birth mode for women in the chronic postpartum period. Study design: Cross-sectional correlational design utilizing purposive sampling of (n=21) female postpartum subjects ages 18-45. Background: Caesarean Section (CS) incidence is reported at 32% nationwide, well above the recommended safe rate of 10% (WHO). Literature is not clear regarding role of birth mode in postpartum symptoms including: pelvic pain, colorectal distress, pelvic organ prolapse, and quality of life. Methods: Data collection took place after IRB approval from Andrews University. Each subject who agreed to volunteer for the study and met the inclusion criteria completed (1) Health History Questionnaire, (2) SF-36, and (3) Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory. Result: Incidence reports of UI were 80% in CS and 50% in the NVD group. The CS reported significantly higher mean scores for PFIQb, UDI, POPDI and CRADI. Age was negatively correlated with CRADI and pain (Chi-square=7.02, p=0.030). NVD reported a significantly higher quality of life (as measured by the SF-36) in general and mental health compared to published norms and CS (p<0.05). BMI showed a significant moderate correlation (r=0.682, p<0.001) with pelvic organ prolapse. Conclusion: Our study found significant increased incidence and impact of UI, CRADI, POPDI and PFIQb symptoms and a decrease in QOL in CS compared to NVD. Age showed significant correlation with colorectal symptoms and BMI showed significant relationship to pelvic organ prolapse.

Cesarean section as a cause of chronic pelvic pain

Abstract: In the present study cesarean section was associated with chronic pelvic pain. This fact may be the cause of a public health problem in the coming years, due to the raised rates of cesarean section in Brazilian women.
