However, it can become a nightmare for Egyptian women, making them resort to a C-section (cesarean) to avoid any such experiences. Other researchers attributed the rise to the obstetrician’s greed, as the average cost of a cesarean delivery in Egypt is worth LE1,076, while a natural delivery costs only LE664. Sadek described the increase of C-section surgeries in Egypt as an “endemic problem.”Nada Akram, a new mother, narrated her C-section experience. He also said that some women avoid natural delivery due to their fear that it could weigh on sexual intercourse. On another point, Abassy claimed that some gynaecologist avoid natural delivery in order to gain more profits and avoid any risks.
