Many women out there, who are going to be a mother for the first time, often wonder how come it can be possible for them to deliver a baby weighing 3.5 kg through their vagina. They guess about the amount of pain they will have to bear during the vaginal delivery. Not only the doctors in Indore for gynecology and obstetrics but also from the other parts of the nations have stated that during pregnancy and labor, blood supply increases around the vagina, which in turn, enlarges the tissues surrounding it and supports vaginal baby delivery.
What Is Vaginal Tearing?
Given the situation, in which, the head of the child does not come out properly during vaginal delivery, your doctor will need to make a minor cut between the vagina and the anus i.e. parenchyma to allow the child to come out easily. This is known as vaginal tearing. It is to be noted that the size of the cut can vary as per the given circumstances.
How Common Is The Vaginal Tearing During Child Births?
Roughly, in 20 percent of the vaginal delivery cases, vaginal tearing is required. Most of the women out there do not even come to know that their doctor has carried out the process of vaginal tearing during their delivery. In a simple sentence, most women do not feel the pain of vaginal tearing.
According to doctors in Indore for gynecology and obstetrics, if it is your first pregnancy, chances of undergoing vaginal tearing remain high.
