Vesico Vaginal Fistula is a direct communication between the bladder and vagina is resulting in leakage of urine into the vagina.

This is a major gynecological problem in the country.

It also occurs when the blood supply to the tissues of the vagina and the bladder is restricted during prolonged obstructed labor, the tissues die between these organs, forming holes through which urine can pass uncontrollably.

Nigeria has the highest prevalence of Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) in the world.

Vesico Vaginal Fistula is preventable; it can largely be avoided by:

1. Delaying the age of first pregnancy.
2 The cessation of harmful traditional practices; and
3. Timely access to obstetric care.
