Some women may tear their anus during vaginal delivery. Anal tear can cause pain in women and also affect their bowel movements. So women who experience anal tears during vaginal delivery hope to recover as soon as possible. So, can vaginal anal tears be restored? Below, the editor will answer this question.
Grade 1 tearing: can recover in about 7 days after treatment
If the anal tear during vaginal delivery is of the first degree and the wound is relatively small, it usually causes slight discomfort in women. After delivery, it is usually necessary to suture it, which can help the muscle tissue heal faster and recover.
Second degree tear: can recover after about 10 days of treatment
If the anus is a second degree tear, it will cause great pain to women, and it usually takes 10 days to recover after suturing. However, if the torn wound is long and deep, it will take a longer time to recover.
Grade III tear: can recover within 15-25 days after treatment
Unlike first degree and second degree tears, they are often caused by oversized fetuses, rapid delivery, or elongation of the external genital opening. If a third degree tear is not quickly and skillfully sutured, it can cause further complications as excrement flows from the intestine to the wound and vagina, leading to infection and incontinence.
A third degree tear is likely to cause pain due to deep damage to muscle tissue, lasting for 3 weeks or longer. Painkillers are needed to relieve pain.
