Are there any disadvantages to having a natural birth without episiotomy?

Most mothers believe that natural births should include episiotomy. However, some first-time mothers should find out whether there are any disadvantages to natural childbirth without episiotomy. Today we will study this topic and see whether natural childbirth without episiotomy is beneficial or harmful to the expectant mother's body. Let every expectant mother have a relaxed mood to be a qualified mother. Next, we will introduce normal delivery without episiotomy one by one.

In the videos of natural births we have seen, the incision is made from the section below the vaginal opening to the anus. The skin on the outside of this section is very tender and you can usually feel it yourself. It is only about 2-3 centimeters. However, the knife should be inserted to cut about one or two centimeters into the vaginal opening, all the way to the anus. What is cut is actually the muscle of the perineum. After the cut, it is obviously equivalent to enlarging the vaginal opening. It expands all the way to the anus. If it is torn naturally, it is actually the baby's head that stretches it. Most of the perineal muscles are not torn, and the elasticity of the muscles is much better than that of the skin from the outside of the vagina to the anus. Most of the tears are superficial. Some require stitches, some do not, and some are natural and severe tears. However, as long as the muscles are not torn, it is better than episiotomy, which was originally a measure taken to avoid perineal muscle tears. Once the perineal muscles are torn, the vagina and anus may be connected, and a lot of bleeding will occur. Domestic experts also said that although episiotomy is a very small operation, it is not a necessary one. However, it is difficult to implement episiotomy based on the actual situation in China, so it is done across the board.

Based on the above introduction to the issues of episiotomy during natural childbirth, we understand that natural childbirth without episiotomy actually has no harm to the body. Natural childbirth without episiotomy is not a necessary process. This process is individual. Therefore, we should understand this common sense when we become expectant mothers. Even if there is no episiotomy during delivery, the doctor will decide based on your own situation and it will not cause any harm to your body.
