What is a vaginal laceration

Vaginal laceration generally refers to a perineal tear injury caused by improper operation of itself or external operations in women during childbirth.

Third-degree perineal laceration or complete perineal laceration, including vaginal opening laceration, perineal laceration, and laceration of the anal sphincter. In severe cases, the rupture can extend to the rectal wall, causing fecal and gas incontinence. The cause is mostly due to improper handling of women's childbirth process, and occasional trauma. Due to the vigorous implementation of the new method of birth delivery, midwives properly protect the perineum, which greatly reduces the incidence of third-degree perineal lacerations.

On examination, the perineum disappeared, and the ends of the vagina and rectum were connected. The skin behind the anus is radially wrinkled, and the sphincter ends retract to form small depressions on both sides of the anus. During anal examination, the patient is instructed to retract inward, and the control function of the sphincter can be tested.

Causes of vaginal lacerations

1. Caused by the production process

During the production process, pregnant women may be too young or too old, especially those who are over 35 years old, and are pregnant women who have given birth for the first time. Due to the poor elasticity of the perineum and the small mobility of the pelvis, the perineum is in childbirth. Insufficient expansion, resulting in lacerations. And young, because the vulva is immature, there may also be lacerations.

2. Pelvic dysplasia

Maternal pelvic outlet is narrow, especially the pubic arch is low and narrow, and the fetus should use the posterior triangle of the pelvic outlet during childbirth, resulting in excessive pressure and overstretching of the perineal body, resulting in perineal tearing.

3. Perineal dysplasia

Maternal perineal development is poor, poor elasticity, vaginal stenosis caused by birth trauma, surgical infection, old scars on the perineal body, hard or hypertrophic perineal tissue, and lacerations caused by inability to fully stretch during childbirth.

4. Abnormal vagina

Women suffer from vaginal condyloma acuminatum, vaginitis, etc., and the local tissue is congested, fragile, and prone to lacerations.

5. Occupation and activity

Vaginal laceration is also related to the work. If you are often engaged in some work that is relatively active, then the mobility of the pelvis and the elasticity of the perineum will be better for women when giving birth, which is conducive to childbirth. Then, because of work reasons, mothers with low activity will have a higher probability of laceration.

Vaginal laceration affects married life

Many women have vaginal lacerations caused by childbirth, so they must be more careful in their married life in the future. If this kind of laceration cannot be healed, then pain will occur during the process, which will affect the couple to a certain extent. Life, if serious, may destroy the relationship between two people, so it must be actively treated.

Vaginal laceration affects reproduction again

Under normal circumstances, when a female friend has a vaginal laceration, as long as the genital blood flow is sufficient, the blood circulation is not blocked, and the wound heals well, the vaginal laceration of a woman during childbirth will not occur. affect reconception. However, if the cervix is ​​too loose, or if the cervix opens on its own when the fetus is not full-term, it is easy to cause premature birth and the risk of miscarriage. Therefore, female friends who want to better conceive again should take good care of vaginal lacerations to avoid more serious wounds.
