How to Avoid Episiotomy?From: anonymous@obgyn.netThu, 11 Mar 1999 14:53:36 -0600 (CST)
How does a woman avoid episiotomy during delivery? Just relax? Can a woman refuse to have an episiotomy if it is the doctor's/hospital's routine practice to perform one? (I don't know the policy here in Canada). Is it better to get stitched up after any tear than to have an episiotomy? I read that having an episiotomy INCREASES the incidence of tearing because it is like fabric-if you snip the edge it rips more easily than if there's no cut. Thanks for the advice.
