The perineum is an important place for female genital organs, and it also needs to be protected during childbirth. Especially, improper production can cause perineal tear, and reasonable measures must be taken to prevent it.
The cause of perineal tear
1. Delivery: Fetal head delivery is the most important step in the delivery process. When the fetal head is delivered through the vagina, the vaginal opening and surrounding tissues are compressed due to the continuous descent of the fetal head, causing local swelling, thinning, and brightening. If the perineum is not properly protected, not only will it tear, but it will also tear to the anus.
2. Dry stools: Long term constipation in women can also cause symptoms of perineal tears, especially in this hot summer when women are particularly prone to dry stools. Therefore, women should pay special attention to their diet in summer. Due to heat or hot weather, bowel movements are prone to dryness and can also cause perineal tears.
3. Improper sexual activity:
(1) Due to inflammation, the vagina is prone to dryness, loss of elasticity, and injury or tearing during sexual intercourse.
(2) During sexual intercourse, the male penis is too large and forcefully inserted without knowing about foreplay, which can easily cause tearing of the female vagina. The foreplay in sexual intercourse should be sufficient, with appropriate finger digging and other actions to expand the vagina. When a woman's vagina is excited and secreted with water, it is in a state of vaginal enlargement. Insertion at this time is not easy to cause vaginal tearing, or using sexual tools to stimulate the vagina before sexual intercourse, and inserting the penis for sexual intercourse after orgasm
Impact of perineal tear
1. Harmful to normal urination: This situation not only occurs in perineal laceration, but also in postpartum urinary incontinence due to factors such as the maternal pelvis being too small, the fetus being too large, and the slow delivery process, which can cause the vagina to be stretched open for a long time.
2. The impact on future sexual pain: Teared wounds during childbirth can cause postpartum sexual pain. This is because the scar after suturing is harder than the soft genitals, and fibrotic tissue is more likely to cause pain when pulled together during sexual intercourse. The incision or tear of the perineum is not only smooth, but there are no poorly healed scars after repair, so there is no problem.
3. Impact on fertility: Generally speaking, if perineal laceration does not harm the cervix, it will not affect fertility. The perineal blood circulation is good, with sufficient blood flow and excellent wound healing ability, which will not affect the production of a second child. During childbirth, if a woman experiences an emergency delivery (with a total delivery time of less than 3 hours), forceps, or fetal head suction surgery, there may be cervical tears, weakness of the cervical canal, and incomplete occlusion. When pregnant again, due to the excessive relaxation of the uterine opening, during pregnancy or before full term, the uterine opening will open on its own, leading to miscarriage or premature birth..
