...births because they are worried only about fitting their babies into their schedules? Hardly. Your story noted some risks of natural childbirth (pelvic-floor damage and incontinence) but focused primarily on nonmedical reasons for C-sections.

More time needs to be spent on women's health issues and less on preserving low surgical birth rates and saving money. KARI ZANGERLE Phoenix, Ariz...

During labor the pelvic-floor muscles are often torn or strained, and nearby nerves can be harmed. Neuromuscular damage can also affect the urethral sphincter, the tiny knot at the base of the bladder that controls flow through the urethra.

Women looking for a quick and lasting remedy often choose surgery. Approximately 135,000 SUI surgeries are performed a year in the U.S., with a success rate of 75% to 95%.

Bartosh and Lynch say they are happy with their sling surgeries and report no leakage, though each had some initial complications afterward.
