The MASIC Foundation is the only multi-disciplinary UK charity to support women who have suffered severe maternal perineal trauma during childbirth known as OASI (Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury).
OASI injuries are a leading cause of bowel incontinence in women and can have a devastating impact on quality of life - affecting long-term health, relationships, lifestyle, and employment.
In addition to bowel incontinence injured women often experience other symptoms of pelvic dysfunction such as urinary incontinence, painful sex, nerve damage, and pelvic organ prolapse.
Many women may also experience mental health issues such as postnatal depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, problems bonding with their babies, and the fear of having another child.
Women who have sustained these injuries in childbirth often suffer in silence due to societal stigma and shame. This results in social isolation and a delay in support and treatment.
The charity is run by injured women and healthcare professionals who are committed to better detection, repair and prevention of injury during childbirth.
To support women with these life-changing injuries, The MASIC Foundation has three main objectives:
1. Supporting injured women and raising public
awareness
2. Supporting research and prevention
3. Educating healthcare professionals
