Re: VAGINALTEAR: vaginal birth tear unstitched From: Pat Sonnenstuhl (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sat, 23 Jun 2007 08:58:25 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Pat Sonnenstuhl: "Re: PREGANACY: Expecting" Previous message: A: "PREGANACY: Expecting" In reply to: A: "VAGINALTEAR: vaginal birth tear unstitched" Next in thread: A: "Re: VAGINALTEAR: vaginal birth tear unstitched" Reply: A: "Re: VAGINALTEAR: vaginal birth tear unstitched" Is the tear bleeding? If it is a shallow, superficial tear, it will heal up just fine, on its own. This is a very vascular area. But some providers don't stitch something like this. It most likely won't affect intimacy, as the area heals up very quiclkly. I guess you noted it after the birth, and are wondering why it wasn't stitched. I might have put one or two stitches in it just to guide the edgers together. It's a toss up. Vaginas are made to heal quite well, and you will be amazed. > >Specifically the vaginal orifice or hymenal ring (the entrance to the >vaginal canal) has a large tear about the 5-6 oclock position.
