Abstract

One of the most common complications of vaginal delivery is birth trauma, which can reach up to 39 % and more. Obstetric perineal injuries are the development of many complications such as insufficiency of the pelvic floor muscles, scar deformation of the vulva, gaping of the genital slit, violation of the vaginal biocenosis, sexual dysfunction, etc. Considering the importance of the issue and the lack of a common point of view on causation and its long-term outcomes, this topic deserves a more detailed study and development of modern, affordable and effective methods of prevention and treatment.

Keywords

birth injury, episiotomy, insufficiency of pelvic floor muscles, prevention of tearing of the soft tissues, vaginal microflora, vertical birth, physiotherapy.
