Vaginal delivery is the preferred choice for every pregnant woman, as it causes much less harm to the body and is easier to recover after childbirth. However, vaginal delivery also has its drawbacks, as almost 90% of vaginal deliveries require lateral cutting. Side cutting is also very painful, making many pregnant women very scared. So how can we avoid vaginal side cutting?
During vaginal delivery, in order to prevent perineal tears in pregnant women, doctors will perform a side incision in advance. The reason for lateral incision is that the muscles in the perineum have poor elasticity, and if the fetal head is too large, it is difficult to deliver and may cause perineal tears. To avoid side cutting, it is necessary to control the weight of the fetus. As long as the fetus is not particularly large and can be delivered smoothly, side cutting is not necessary. Especially in the late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women should control their food intake appropriately to avoid the fetus being too large. There is no other particularly effective method besides this one.
If pregnant women blindly insist on not performing side cutting, it is easy to cause perineal tears during the delivery process, and the torn wound will be messy and irregular, making it even harder to heal. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor and agree to a lateral incision if necessary. In most cases, doctors will perform a lateral incision on the mother in advance, which is more conducive to the delivery of the fetal head. For pregnant women, the incision from the lateral incision can heal better, and for the fetus, it can accelerate delivery, which is very beneficial.
