Third degree perineal laceration during delivery - what does this mean
Third degree perineal laceration during delivery occurs when the baby's head is too large to pass through the mother's pelvic opening, causing the tissue of the perineum to tear and separate. this can lead to significant trauma to the mother, including muscle and nerve damage, and can be a very serious complication of childbirth.
What happens during the disease - third degree perineal laceration during delivery
Third degree perineal laceration during delivery is caused by the excessive stretching of the perineum due to the passage of the baby's head through the birth canal. the stretching can cause the muscles and connective tissues of the perineum to tear, resulting in a third degree laceration. this can be complicated by the presence of an episiotomy, which increases the risk of a more severe laceration.
