what degree tear is an episiotomy
Some of the risks of an episiotomy include, extension to a third-or fourth-degree tear, subsequent pelvic floor dysfunction, anal sphincter dysfunction, painful sex, infection and fecal and urinary incontinence.n this blog, I compare the pros and cons of an episiotomy to that of a natural tear of the perineum. My goal is to offer you enough information to either make an informed decision with what you are most comfortable with or at least open the discussion about this matter with your care provider.
