Risk of new-onset urinary incontinence after forceps and vacuum delivery in primiparous women

Article Abstract:

Forceps deliveries are more likely to cause chronic urinary incontinence than a spontaneous delivery or a vacuum delivery, according to a study of 315 pregnant women. Although the rate of urinary incontinence was similar in the women regardless of the type of delivery, forceps deliveries were more likely to cause chronic incontinence.
