Cervical tears are common in difficult labors that require forceps or when the mother pushes too early when the cervix is not fully dilated, sometimes due to large abortions. In cases where the cervical tear is large and causes heavy bleeding, doctors will immediately suture it to stop the bleeding after the fetus and placenta are delivered. In cases where the tear is small, the bleeding may stop on its own after the fetus is delivered.

Hemorrhage (bleeding) that occurs during labor can be a serious threat to the health and life of the mother, and will require immediate medical attention. Bleeding can be divided into three periods: before labor, during labor, and after birth.

Postpartum hemorrhage is a serious obstetric complication that often occurs unexpectedly and is the leading cause of maternal death. Quickly finding the cause of postpartum hemorrhage and properly treating postpartum hemorrhage is the duty of the physician to save the patient's life.

The cervix is the opening before entering the uterine cavity and is also a place that is quite susceptible to trauma due to procedures, especially during vaginal labor. Accordingly, cervical tears need to be treated immediately after labor ends to prevent complications as well as limit future consequences.

Perineal tears during childbirth occur when the baby's head passes through the expanded vaginal wall, in cases where the baby's head is too large for the vaginal wall to stretch or the baby's head is normal but the vaginal wall is not elastic enough. Tears usually occur in the skin and subcutaneous area of the vagina and vulva, and usually heal on their own after a few weeks. In some cases, the tear is deeper and requires treatment.

Cervical and vaginal lacerations are relatively common lower genital tract injuries. Cervical and vaginal lacerations often occur in difficult deliveries that require forceps or when the mother pushes too early when the cervix is not fully dilated, sometimes due to large abortions.
