Urogenital fistula is a debilitating condition that women can develop following obstructed labor. The primary objective of this study was to reveal illness narratives of Rwandan women with urogenital fistula to appreciate their unique experiences. The secondary aim was to identify common themes that emerged when women discussed their experiences living with fistula.
