Results The rate of cesarean section increased year after year, with 14.9% in 2003 and 61.04% in 2006. They were obviously higher than the object advanced by WHO. Dystocia was the first indication of cesarean section in 2003, while the society factor was the first in recently two years. Conclusions The increase of the rate of cesarean section is mainly correlated with doctor and patients. So reducing the rate of cesarean section should start from both sides.
