Abstract

Normal delivery puts significant strain on the pelvic floor musculature especially  when the internal rotation of the presenting part takes place and even more when the foetal positions are posterior. Caesarean delivery rate has gone significantly high in recent years due to liberalization of the indications for caesarean section. Here is a study of current knowledge   indicating higher incidence of prolapse in patients who had vaginal delivery in comparison to patients who had abdominal delivery.
