Fistula is an abnormal condition between an inside body organ and the outside world. An Obstetric Fistula is a hole between the vagina and adjoining organs. Unrelieved, prolonged, or obstructed labor, lasting from one to seven days, causes this injury. The constant pressure of the baby’s bony head against the mother’s bony pelvis damages the internal tissue. Reconstructive surgery, provided at the Hamlin Fistula Hospital, replaces the lost tissue.
