Ebonyi Tops In VVF/ Vaginal Fistula Disease Cases Nationwide - USAID by scholes0(m): 4:02am On Feb 24, 2016


Abakaliki — The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) yesterday said over 12,000 women are afflicted with Vesico Viginal Fistula (VVF) in Nigeria, with[b] Ebonyi State having the highest of over 3,000 cases.[/b]

According to the Federal Ministry of Health, between 500,000 and 1,000,000 women/girls are living with VVF, and an estimate of up to 80,000 new cases are recorded annually. The maternal mortality ratio in Nigeria remains unacceptably high; adding that Nigeria contributing about 2.5% of the global population bears 10% of the global burden of maternal mortality and 40% of the global burden of obstetric fistula.

USAID Deputy Mission Director, Aler Grubbs, who stated this in Abakaliki while handing over hospital equipment worth N47million to the Ebonyi State government, said the disease was ravaging women in Nigeria.

She maintained that VVF is treatable and preventable as over 10,000 victims had been treated in the state and other parts of the country.
She pointed out that over 450 doctors had been trained in the area of VVF surgery, adding that USAID would continue to partner with Ebonyi to eradication the disease.

Vesicovaginal Fistula, or VVF, is an abnormal fistulous tract extending between the bladder (or vesico) and the vagina that allows the continuous involuntary discharge of urine into the vaginal vault, leading to an uncontrollable release of urine

This is the absolute end of a woman's dignity.
I feel sorry for these women. Imagine a woman passing out urine on her wrapper uncontrollably.... what kind of productive social life can such a woman live again?

This shouldn't be so because early marriages are more common in the Northern part of Nigeria than other regions. Perhaps, it feels like they do because of more reported cases in comparison to other states.

Ebonyi has the highest recorded cases. We know that many states in the North simply don't report VVF cases

Better to be in the know than to hide

Some slight corrections

1.The North does have a VVF problem. But for some time now...there has been an aggresive effort put into dealing with the problem. And one way is by training TBA's to recognize early signs of obstructed labour.....which is what causes VVF.

2.Note that early marriage(UNDER 18) DOES NOT ALWAYS = VVF. It may increase your chances of VVF though.

The main cause of VVF is obstructed labor....which can happen in women who are old enough to deliver....due to a narrow birth canal (That is why it is important to go for ANC please)
.

3.Also....if a woman with obstructed labour declines Caesarean.....because she wants to deliver on her own...problem dey.(An underaged child who is pregnant who has a CS could avoid obstructed labor and VVF).

I was expecting it to be in the northern part of the country. I thought some people made us believe the cause of this is early marriage.
