Perineal laceration

Perineal laceration is divided into three degrees. Perineal lacerations of degree I and Ⅱ are relatively superficial, with less bleeding. After proper suture, most of them heal well. Perineal lacerations of Ⅲ degree, or complete perineal laceration, include vaginal laceration, perineal laceration, and anal sphincter In severe cases, the rupture can extend to the rectal wall, causing stool and gas incontinence. Most of the causes are due to improper handling of childbirth and occasional trauma. Due to the vigorous implementation of the new method of midwifery, midwives appropriately protected the perineum, which greatly reduced the incidence of third-degree perineal lacerations. Occurred occasionally in large hospitals in the city.
