	Episiotomy
		An episiotomy is a surgical incision made in the area between the vagina and anus (perineum).
		An episiotomy is a surgical incision, usually made with sterile scissors, in the perineum as the baby's head is being delivered.
		However, an episiotomy is always necessary during a forceps delivery because of the size of the forceps.

		An episiotomy [[International_Phonetic_Alphabet_for_English]] is a surgical incision through the perineum made to enlarge the vagina and assist delivering the baby.
		Physicians use episiotomies to lessen perineal trauma, minimize postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction by reducing anal sphincter muscle damage, reduce the loss of blood at delivery, and protect against neonatal trauma.
		Having an episiotomy may increase perineal pain in the postpartum period, resulting in trouble defecating.

		An episiotomy is an incision made in the tissue between the vaginal opening and anus (perineum) during childbirth.
		For example, your doctor may recommend an episiotomy if extensive vaginal tearing appears likely, if your baby is in an abnormal position or if your baby needs to be delivered quickly.
		If you need an episiotomy, you'll receive an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the tissue if you haven't had any other type of anesthesia or your anesthesia is no longer numbing the area.

	Childbirth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the past, a large proportion of women died from infection puerperal fever, but since the introduction of basic hygiene during parturition by Ignaz Semmelweis, this number has fallen precipitously.
		An episiotomy is occasionally necessary to avoid tears involving the anal sphincter, but its routine use—once normal—has now been shown to be harmful.
		Such procedures include caesarean sections, episiotomies, or emergency hysterectomies.
