Vesicovaginal Fistula: Psychosocial Problems In Rural Areas of Pakistan

Abstract

gives me immense pleasure to appreciate your efforts that
you and your team have made to the scientific journal of
Bahria University Medical & Dental College (JBUMDC)
to make it a successful medical journal. An editorial
“Vesicovaginal Fistula: Psychosocial Problems In Rural
Areas of Pakistan” was published in vol. 8 issue 2, April to
June 2018 of JBUMDC1. I was the author of this editorial
and to my amazing surprise it was widely viewed online
nationally as well as internationally. I am honored to receive
an offer from the editor of Lambert Academic Publishing
(LAP). It was about writing a book about “Psychosocial
Aspects of VesicoVaginal fistula (VVF) in rural areas of
Pakistan” based on this research. It is an Europe based
publishing company and is dedicated to scientific work.
Their books are distributed worldwide through well-known
shops. In addition they are willing to bear all cost related to
publishing, marketing and distribution of book.
This Editorial was based on the observations and information
collected during the field visit with students of 4th Year
MBBS. As it was mentioned that VVF are the most
commonly acquired genital fistulas that are associated with
numerous physical, social, psychological and sexual problems
in affected individuals. It was noticed during the survey that
the most common reason that affects young pregnant women
is prolonged obstructed labor. Education of females, safe
motherhood initiatives, better family planning services and
legislations against early marriages could be the strategies
for the prevention and control of this debilitating diseases
responsible for not only medical but a major psychological
trauma to the sufferers.
