Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old. The day of delivery is approaching. I don't want to give birth by caesarean section. Please, does a normal delivery always lead to tearing or an episiotomy?Doctor's answer:
According to your description. If you had an episiotomy during a vaginal delivery, it is essential to rest for a period of time. If you recover completely, it is highly unlikely to experience tearing again. However, if the postpartum care is not properly managed or if you resume sexual activity too soon, there is a high possibility of redeveloping a tear. Therefore, you should pay attention to resting more, at least for one and a half to two months. Wishing you good health and a happy life.
