A medical professional has gone on X to narrate an encounter with a patient’s husband.
She explained that the patient who suffered a tear following child birth had to be stitched up.
However, she returned to the hospital for further suturing after her stitches got loose.
The health care provider said after the second stitching, she told the husband not to have s£x with his wife for a month and his response was to threaten that his wife will not eat at home if he can’t touch her.
The medic said this angered her and the husband’s mother, who was present, was laughing.
Other doctors have also shared stories of what they experienced with husbands of women in labour wards.
