From the Huffington Post in the UK, a blog post on How I Lost My Vagina.
Short summary: A woman and her gynecologist decide based on her mental health situation that she should give birth via C-section. The gynecologist also observes that she has a narrow vagina and likely would have trouble delivering vaginally anyway. The woman's care provider changes towards the end of pregnancy, and that care provider decides she should pursue a vaginal delivery. The vaginal delivery results in a fourth-degree tear that is either impossible to repair or repaired incorrectly. As a result, her vagina and rectum are one hole, she has significant scarring, she can't use tampons, she can't enjoy sex, she feels psychologically like a freak show monster, etc.
But she wasn't on the list of socially approved indications for C-section, so too bad for her.
