An obstetric fistula usually happens to poor, pregnant women in remote areas. If a dead baby stays inside the uterus for a long time, the blood flow to different parts of the reproductive organs is stopped, the different parts of the birth canal are damaged, resulting in a wound that creates a hole between the reproductive organs and the bladder and/or anus, resulting in the continuous leakage of urine or feces.
