      abstract = {The prevalence of Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is frequently underestimated due to its shallow knowledge, yet it remains a major public health challenge, especially in developing countries. This paper investigated the prevalence of Vesicovaginal Fistula in Kebbi State. The data collected were obtained through a descriptive survey design with the aid of a simple random sampling (SRS) procedure, eleven (11) local governments were used out of twenty-one (21) local governments area of Kebbi State of Nigeria with self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive Statistics and a test of independence were used in the analysis of the data. The result showed that the prevalence of patients with VVF was 43.1% relative to non-patients, and this was substantially high.  The mean age of the respondents that experienced VVF was between 20 - 24 years and most of the VVF cases were experienced at the first birth or delivery. There were more housewives than civil servants (55.6% vs 24%) in the study. The highest number of respondents were from Birrin Kebbi local government. More than half (63.6%) of the respondents do not have knowledge about VVF which could be a strong factor in the prevalence of VVF in the study area. The study revealed that prolonged obstructive labor, female genital mutilation (FGM), early marriage, and mode of deliveries were all significant to VVF (with respective p-values 0.005 < 0.004, 0.000, 0.005, 0.000). The study, therefore, recommends that mandatory, provision of accurate and appropriate information and education on VVF must be introduced for the female sex in the study area.},
