In all, 376 questionnaires were completed using secondary data from patient records in the gynecology record room of the Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital (TCTH) Lahore. The research is based on data on the most recent birth of ever-married women between the ages of 15 and 45 who have since given birth. study findings have revealed the absolute indications, relative indications and no indication. 48.2% women had absolute indications of cesarean section, 23.3% had relative indication and 28.4% cesarean section done without indications. Moreover, it also shed light on the pros and cons of unnecessary cesarean.
