Hello doctor! I have given birth to 3 children and all of them were natural births, the youngest is 14 months old, but now I have signs of perineal tearing, the tear is deep near the anus. So doctor, please tell me: "What should I do if I have a perineal tear after giving birth?" Thank you doctor for your advice!

The perineum is the tissue between the vagina and the anus. This place seems to have no role in the body but is very important in the birthing process. Below are 5 things women should know about the perineum to better understand this part.

Most pregnant women when giving birth naturally, especially those giving birth to their first child, are often advised by doctors to perform an episiotomy. The purpose of this procedure is to widen the vagina and vulva, making it easier for the fetus to come out, and also to help prevent perineal tears, which can cause aesthetic problems later.

Episiotomy during normal birth is always a big fear for pregnant women during the birthing process. Most cases of normal birth have episiotomy.

Hello doctor, I just had a normal birth for more than 1 month, the wound has healed but not only the knot at the top of the vagina. May I ask if you should cut the suture yourself when the perineal suture has not dissolved? If self-expenditure, how long?

During normal delivery, mothers not only face labor pains but also the risk of having to cut the perineum to get the baby out. After this process, it seems like all the fatigue and pain have ended, but in reality, there are many cases where the perineum stitches are open and the mother has to return to the hospital for treatment.

Incision and suturing of the perineum during normal birth usually occurs during the first natural birth, this is a method of cutting the skin from the vagina down to the anus (perineum) to create a wider space for the baby to come out more easily. This method helps the labor process to take place faster and limits the condition of vaginal tearing due to pushing, while avoiding future problems for the mother.

Forceps delivery is a commonly used assisted birth method in obstetrics. However, not many pregnant women know much about this procedure or the risks that may be encountered when receiving Forceps assisted birth.

Vaginal tears are a common occurrence during labor and vaginal birth, especially in first-time mothers. These tears stretch the vagina, allowing the baby to pass through the birth canal more easily.

Postpartum perineal, vaginal, and vulvar infections are common obstetric complications. Pregnant women need to be alert to the warning signs of postpartum infections in order to promptly diagnose and treat the disease, avoiding dangerous complications.

After giving birth, women's perineum is stretched or torn, causing loss of aesthetics of the private area as well as a decrease in sexual quality, affecting family happiness. Therefore, cosmetic methods to help beautify the perineum are a trend that many people are interested in.
