Patient's question:
I heard that a cut is also made in the perineum during a vaginal birth. Is it usually necessary for all vaginal births to have one? Are there any without it?Doctor's answer:
In some larger hospitals, every vaginal birth requires an episiotomy to avoid severe perineal lacerations. The outcome of suturing after an episiotomy is generally better than suturing after a laceration. This incision will gradually heal, and it typically takes more than six months to fully heal, but it will leave a scar. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of genetic risks pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
