What is a va**nal tear?
A va**nal tear can happen during childbirth. Also called a perineal laceration, this is a tear in the tissue (skin and muscle) around your va**na and perineum. The perineal area (also called the perineum) is the space between the va**nal opening and your a**s.
During a typical va**nal delivery, the skin of your va**na prepares for childbirth by thinning out. This part of your body is meant to stretch and allow the baby’s head and body to pass through without trauma. However, there are several reasons why a va**nal tear might happen. These reasons can include:
A large baby.
A very quick delivery (the skin hasn’t had time to stretch and thin).
Use of forceps during delivery.
What causes a va**nal tear during childbirth?
       A va**nal tear during childbirth can happen for a variety of reasons. A few factors that could cause a tear can include:
If it’s your first delivery.
The position of the baby (face-up deliveries).
Use of forceps or a vacuum during delivery.
A large baby (more than 8 pounds).
If you’ve had an episiotomy.
