Episiotomy is done at the second stage of the labor to quickly enlarge the vagina so that the baby can come out easily. It is a very sensitive surgery and is done with utmost care. It is only done when the vaginal opening is not sufficient for the baby to pass through. It is performed by the midwife and only when the situation turns critical.
This can be performed in two different angles and it takes at least two weeks to heal. It can be dangerous if not done carefully because the operated area is vulnerable to infections.
Here's the whole episiotomy procedure that will make your stomach churn badly.
Everybody knows that the baby grow in the uterus.
While the baby is in the uterus it continuously changes its position.
And sometimes the situation gets complicated and the vaginal opening is not sufficient for the baby to come out.
There are three reasons why episiotomy is done. And, they are:
Episiotomy is done to speed up the delivery and that is also for the protection of the mother and baby.
If the mother has not received anesthesia before, then the midwife induces it just before the procedure begins.
There are two different angles in which episiotomy process is done, that are mediolateral process and midline process.
This is the first angle and it is called the midline procedure.
After the baby is delivered the doctor stitches the cut completely so as to avoid infection.
Healing episiotomy is to be done with great care and it takes almost three weeks to heal completely.
Share it with everyone and spread the awareness about episiotomy care.
