Selective versus routine use of episiotomy for vaginal birth.
Episiotomy was associated with 3rd degree perineal tear (aOR 2.26, 95% CI 1.03-4.97). Only birth weight (nulliparous) and previous vaginal deliveries (multiparous) were contributors for episiotomy in the OVD group. Conclusion: Several risk factors for mediolateral episiotomy exist. Episiotomy does not protect nulliparous women, and may be.

Introduction. Episiotomy is a surgical enlargement of the vaginal orifice by an incision to the perineum during the last part of the second stage of labour or delivery. 1, 2 The standard obstetric and midwifery texts usually describe only two main types of episiotomy (median and mediolateral), 1, 3-5 although seven different incisions have been described in the literature.
Postnatal women are prone for puerperial infection and any trauma such as episiotomy, tear, laceration can increase the tendency for the development of infection, pain and discomfort in the postnatal period which can be reduced by proper hygienic measures, especially perineal care, therapeutic cleansing soak, such as warm water sitz bath for rapid healing.
Depression is the most common and disabling mental illness in the globe. It accounts for about 6.5% of the burden of diseases in Ethiopia. Regardless of its severity and relapse rate, there are no synthesized evidences about its prevalence and potential.
Researchers analyze trends in episiotomy use among vaginal deliveries In Canada, the rate of episiotomy during childbirth has declined in recent years, but when it comes to births assisted by.
Thus, the importance of integration between research evidence and clinical experience along with the professional and the patient's values (2) led us to conduct this study in order to understand women's perceptions about the episiotomy, so as to deepen awareness of the care assistance process, promoting the elimination of barriers to the implementation of an adequate scientific and humanistic.
