Study finds that 1 in 3 women suffer from health problems due to childbirth

Those that have the audacity to argue about Allah's laws about a woman's provision, read this article below.

Sisters, don't you ever lower your standards, if you are going to take one of the biggest risks known to mankind.

Ask any person whoโ€™s been pregnant if they have any lingering health problems after childbirth, and get ready to hear a laundry list of issues. Long-term health effects caused by labor and delivery may be more common than we realize, according to a new study published in โ€œThe Lancet Global Healthโ€. But just because postpartum complications are common doesnโ€™t mean theyโ€™re normal, or something you simply have to deal with for the rest of your life.

Every year, more than 1 in 3 women (at least 40 million) globally are likely to experience a postnatal condition in the months or years following childbirth. Those can range from low back pain (affecting 32% of women) to pain during intercourse (35% of women), urinary incontinence (8% to 31%), depression (11%-17%), anxiety (9% to 24%), fear of childbirth (6% to 15%) or secondary infertility (11%).

Looking at these statistics proves itโ€™s clear that more recognition of the physical and psychological effects of childbirth is needed, as most of these issues often go under-recognized and are therefore likely under-diagnosed
.

Most postpartum women see their provider at 6 or 12 weeks postpartum for a single checkup, and then are left on their own to deal with nagging problems like low back pain or pain during xes, while also caring for a newborn. And thatโ€™s part of the problem. โ€œThe historical limitation of postnatal care services to the 6 weeks after birth is also a contributing factor,โ€ the study authors write. As many of these issues often set in after the 6-week mark, itโ€™s simply not sufficient care for most women.

โ€œConditions such as depression, urinary and anal incontinence, and xesual dysfunction can be caused or exacerbated by pregnancy and childbirth but might only present months, or even years, after childbirth. By this time, women are no longer accessing postpartum care servicesโ€ฆโ€ they state.

And aside from impacting health, these issues can come with long-term social and economic consequences, too.


More rarely, serious postpartum complications can set in after childbirth, such as pelvic organ prolapse, post-traumatic stress disorder, thyroid dysfunction, mastitis, nerve injury, psychosis and blood clots, all of which can carry a significant impact.

โ€œMany postpartum conditions cause considerable suffering in womenโ€™s daily life long after birth, both emotionally and physically, and yet they are largely underappreciated, underrecognized, and underreported,โ€ said Dr. Pascale Allotey, Director of xesual and Reproductive Health and Research at WHO, who was not involved in the study.

โ€œThroughout their lives, and beyond motherhood, women need access to a range of services from health-care providers who listen to their concerns and meet their needsโ€”so they not only survive childbirth but can enjoy good health and quality of life.โ€

A recent CDC survey found that nearly half of respondents (44.7%) shared that they felt the need to hold back questions or concerns with their provider during prenatal visits. The survey also found that 1 in 5 American women reported experiencing mistreatment during prenatal consultations. Nearly a third claimed they faced discrimination based on factors such as age, weight, ethnicity or income level.

The prevalence of postpartum complications is much worse in low- or middle-income countries, the paper states, many of which do not have clinical guidelines in place to properly address these conditions. That lack of focus on basic health issues may explain why 121 out of 185 countries have not significantly reduced maternal mortality over the past 20 years, the WHO states.

The paperโ€™s authors argue the need for a multidisciplinary health system that provides respectful and high-quality maternity services, along with postpartum screening assessments and prompt management of those at risk.

โ€œTo comprehensively address these conditions, broader and more comprehensive health service opportunities are needed, which should extend beyond 6 weeks postpartum and embrace multidisciplinary models of care. This approach can ensure that these conditions are promptly identified and given the attention that they deserve.โ€

Gaslighting is unfortunately common in womenโ€™s health. If youโ€™re experiencing pain, discomfort or health problems postpartum, no matter how long ago you gave birth, know that you donโ€™t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to your OB-GYN or primary care doctorโ€”and keep reaching out until youโ€™re able to get the help you need and deserve.

they don't realize how often women are losing. a woman who splits 50/50 and send her kids to daycare is still the primary parent, and does most of the housework and cleaning when she gets home. She doesn't get to put her feet up like her husband. But at the same time a sahm has to work all day caring for kids/house only to worry about her stingy husband financially abusing her and holding every penny over her head despite the fact that she literally carried their child for 9 months and almost died giving birth lol

if you can recognize the position of a mother in islam, you should have more appreciation for the mother of your own children than to be saying silly things like, "she only gets the basic needs"
 
My mum had 8 and My sister is about to give birth in 2 days, stop complaining like Cadaan women with dog and cats.

LOL

Your own mother had 8 children, yet you still lack empathy for what women go through. Does your mother have to complain to you, for you to see what she's gone through?

Ladies, yet another reason, to look out for yourself first and foremost.

I know the sacrifices my mother made and the effects it had on her physically but she does not regret it and would do it 8 times over for us, it is called cycle of life and she is fine now and lively she never worked a day in her life my father made sure he toiled and mentally suffered for her.

Somali women take too much shi from Somali men. The absolute scums of earth . If youโ€™re a Somali woman reading this. You deserve someone who doesnโ€™t use culture as an excuse to treat you bad. โค๏ธ on a side note, I donโ€™t think giving birth is even a smart idea in this economy but if you want the possible risks . Go for it

What is the purpose of this thread?

Are you trying to discourage women from having babies? We all are aware of the risks associated with human childbirth.

Women usually take the childbirth risk mostly for their own interest, because they like having babies and it's indeed a blessing to have babies.

The purpose of this topic, is to warn my sisters, to choose a husband carefully. And if he tricks you and pretends to be a good person, think very carefully, about having multiple children. As usual, when I want to speak to sisters in the WOMEN'S DEN, men come running in, to mansplain and gaslight us.
That's good advice. Women should always be careful when choosing husbands, especially at these times but I don't think having multiple children from a useless husband is a disaster. Children are always a blessing


We are allowed to comment and post in women's den otherwise it would've been private.

1000 percent agree. Getting married to a good person for you is a matter of great magnitude.

but I don't think having multiple children from a useless husband is a disaster. Children are always a blessing
The disaster is having to raise those kids like a single mother. Those kids would be deprived of the care and proper nurturing that comes from a stable and loving two-parent household. The children will grow with a number of issues, resentments and regrets over not having a present father in their lives. Having your dad there for you is something many take for granted.

Yes. Youโ€™re allowed to comment but try to understand firstly then give your take on the matter at hand. The sister has an issue with men telling her these arenโ€™t real things to worry about. How about validating that and then humbly delving into your differing viewpoint?

No one likes to vent to someone who can not empathize with them. Your mom is strong because she has to be. There is a difference between simply complaining and sharing what youโ€™re going through to your support system. The person sharing with their beloveds wants comforting words and actions done for them.
 
Somali hooyos rarely vent to their sons tbh about the difficulty of motherhood and health aspect. Ask any older daughter and theyโ€™ll tell you how much information their mothers and aunts dish out, yet the male members of the family are clueless. I think that is what creates the lack of empathy in a lot of men. They see their mothers struggling and toiling away without hardly showcasing how it impacts her to her sons, yet the daughters get the brunt of it. Itโ€™s probably why some Somali men grow up being absolute scum to their wives and then go on about how their mothers did XYZ without ever complaining when it couldnโ€™t be further from the truth.

Similarly, the situation can be applied to the father, where the daughters might be unaware of the mental stress, expectations, and challenges faced by men, why would a father tell his daughters about male explicit stuff that only the males in household would discuss. I don't doubt that Somali men are aware of their mothers' health conditions; in fact, sons often have a stronger attachment and love for their mothers than daughters. Therefore, it raises the question of why the males in the household should be informed about the intimate details of female matters, which, as you mentioned, are typically reserved for discussions between daughters, mothers, and aunts.
Your generalization, connecting this matter to why some Somali men may mistreat their wives, seems far-fetched and founded on fallacious reasoning.

Additionally, what does the creator of the thread expect sons or men to do about a natural aspect of the life cycle? Often, it's considered women's business, and beyond supporting our wives and mothers by providing remedies for their issues, isn't that sufficient? Considering the revered status mothers holdโ€”paradise is beneath their feetโ€”do you suggest that men should also experience childbirth?

That I agree. But the fact of the matter is that a lot of things that stressed our fathers us women can also relate to now as in todays modern world, we work, start businesses, pay bills and the list continues. The thing is, with regards to male โ€˜dutiesโ€™ itโ€™s no longer the sole domain of men anymore. Thatโ€™s not to say men donโ€™t have other pressures that us women will not understand.

Because those issues shed the light on how much sacrifices and issues women go through. Whilst the average man does indeed understand that their mother has done a lot for them, they fail to understand that their mothers situation could have been better if men actually helped a whole lot more. It will later down the line make them more sympathetic to their spouses.

It isnโ€™t. We have a culture of men thinking going into the kitchen is beneath them and other issues I canโ€™t be bothered to delve into tbh.

It really isnโ€™t since when women are going through this, theyโ€™re also expected to do everything else, especially in this day and age in which women are also taking on menโ€™s responsiblities such as provision.
