摘要
Globally, 2–3 million women are affected by obstetric fistula. It is common in developing nations, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where suitable, timely care and treatment are hard to find. This devastating condition adversely affects women’s physical and mental health. There is little research conducted in relation to the experiences of women living with leakage of urine and/or feces in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study provides a better understanding on obstetric fistula and its associated factors.
