Perineal laceration during delivery - what does this mean
Perineal laceration during delivery is caused by excessive stretching of the perineum during childbirth, leading to tears in the skin and underlying muscles. these tears are often more severe with larger babies, instrumental deliveries, or with a first-time mother.
What happens during the disease - perineal laceration during delivery
Perineal laceration during delivery is a tear in the perineum, the area between the anus and the vulva, that occurs during childbirth. it is caused by excessive pressure on the perineum from the baby's head as it passes through the birth canal, as well as from the use of forceps or vacuum extraction. this pressure can cause the tissue in the perineum to tear, resulting in a laceration.
