Evidence on their efficacy and safety is preliminary; therefore, routine prescription of medications for the core symptoms cannot be recommended. Trial registration PROSPERO-ID CRD42019125317.

Is Oxytocin safe? What the research covers
Conclusion: With the increasing incidence of PPH globally, obstetric health care providers need to improve their awareness of these multi-factorial risks to optimize obstetric care and reduce maternal morbidity. This systematic review and meta-analysis have raised important questions about the nature of vaginal delivery, such as the duration of prolonged labor, details on the use of oxytocin, and the presence of genital tract trauma. There should be highlighted by obstetric personnel on these factors during a patients' labor process.
Conclusion: Pregnancy- and obstetric-related risk factors predicting pelvic floor disorders postpartum are multifactorial and differ between pelvic floor disorders. The strongest risk factor for incontinence later in life was incontinence during pregnancy. Better quality research with long-term follow up is needed on this topic.
