“…nulliparity, private obstetric care, induction of labour and instrumental delivery) are consistent with published risk factors. 19,[27][28][29][30] However, there was no association with an infant's birth weight exceeding the 90th percentile of 3800 g in these women. In Caucasian populations, a birth weight of 4000 g or more has been identified as a predictive factor for episiotomy, as has a birth weight of 4500 g or more.…”

“…Neste estudo foi perceptível que a dor advinda da episiotomia, deixou sequelas não só físicas como emocionais. Dentre as sequelas físicas, a episotomia aumenta o risco de laceração perineal de terceiro e quarto graus, de infecção e de hemorragia, sem diminuir complicações a longo prazo de dor e incontinência urinária e fecal (RÄISÄNEN et al, 2011;TESSER et al, 2015).…”
