What is a perineal repair?

Perineal repair is one of the most common surgical procedures. In general, this occurs after vaginal birth when the perineum is naturally or reduced during episiotomy. Perineum is an area between vaginal and anal holes and is mainly made of muscle tissue. During natural birth it is common to tear and many doctors are commonly used. Repair often includes sewing torn or cut tissues to make proper healing. In some rare cases, perineal tearing occurs during sexual activity.

The challenges presented in the implementation of perineal repair varies depending on the situation. Curking episiotomy is generally a straight line from the vaginal opening to the perineum and is administered at the same time that the infant's head begins to appear or the "crown". This procedure provides a more straight cut that is easier to repair, although the perineum and vagina damage is often more serious than a naturally occurring tear. When the Tears vagina can help the natural method TRvat to a minimum and perineal repair is not more complicated than in episiotomy. In some rare cases, very large or jagged tears may occur, making repairs more difficult.

The area is usually painful for several days and for the reduction of CE on the vagina and perineum. Healing time differs from woman to woman and can move from week to month, depending onHow serious the original injury was.

In some very extreme cases, the perineum could be torn or cut very deeply and further perineal repairs may be needed in the form of surgery or further sewing. If the muscles under the skin are seriously damaged, the patient may experience serious pain along with fecal or urinary incontinence. For this reason, surgical muscle repair is often necessary, if it is feasible, to prevent these problems.

There are several methods that can be used to prevent the perineum from tearing during delivery without an episiotomy.
