For Your Health: Urinary Incontinence
|
|
(CNN) -- A Norwegian study finds women who deliver babies vaginally are at higher risk for urinary incontinence than women who have a Caesarean section. First-time mothers have the lowest risk.
But this study in the New England Journal of Medicine does not recommend more C-sections for women, because pregnancy itself can affect incontinence.
C-sections in the United States are at an all-time high. About 25 percent of babies are now delivered this way in the United States.
