Good that you ask, can you point me to any evidence that protection of the perineum actually protects the perineum?

Or even more heretic, isn't a tear better than an intact but stretched perineum? Now, that it seems to be shown that episiotomy is worse than a tear?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
