Once the tear is about a few stitches

It is very painful for women to give birth naturally, and giving birth may cause tears in women's private parts. The degree of the tear will affect the need for stitches. The number of stitches required varies depending on the degree of the tear. A first-degree tear is a mild tear, but even a mild tear still requires stitches, and attention should be paid to wound care. How many stitches are needed for a tear?

1. Stitches required for normal delivery depend on the severity of the tear, usually five to six stitches are needed. After a normal birth, you must rest at home, pay attention to sleep, and don't let yourself get tired again, but never lie in bed for a whole month. Generally, you can get out of bed and do some light activities 3 days after delivery. You should insist on proper physical exercise during the confinement period, and do some postpartum gymnastics or yoga, which can help you get back in shape as soon as possible. If a pregnant woman wants to give birth naturally, she must follow the doctor's instructions to push, so as to avoid excessive force and tearing.

2. A first-degree tear during a normal delivery is not particularly serious. After the tear is sutured, clean the vulva every day, keep the wound clean and dry, and wash the vulva with clean water or disinfectant. Change sanitary products frequently and avoid spicy foods. First degree tears are not the most serious, but they can also have an impact on maternal health. The mother gave birth naturally because the fetus was too large and might cause tearing. A first-degree laceration during a normal delivery is not the most serious, but a relatively mild laceration. During normal delivery, due to improper force or the midwife's failure to properly protect the perineum, lacerations of the perineal skin and mucosa or the vaginal mucosa can easily occur. Generally, 1-2 degree lacerations are most common, and 3rd degree lacerations are rare nowadays. A 3rd degree laceration is generally a more serious laceration, while a 1-2 degree laceration will recover faster if actively sutured according to the situation.

3. The healing of tearing and stitches after normal delivery is related to factors such as the degree of perineal tear, wound care, and postpartum physical recovery. Perineal tears can be divided into: First-degree lacerations, in which the skin of the perineum and the vaginal mucosa of the parturient are slightly torn but do not reach the muscle layer. In a second-degree laceration, the tear has reached the perineal muscles but there is no damage to the anal sphincter. Grade III laceration, complex injury of the anal sphincter. IV degree laceration, damage to the vagina, anus and rectum of the parturient. Grade I and II injuries recover better after suturing, and the wounds usually heal within 2 to 4 weeks after surgery. However, grade III and IV lacerations are complex and require regular follow-up, with a specialist to determine whether the wound has healed.
