About birth injuries

Birth injuries is a collective term for complaints that can arise after childbirth: tears and scar tissue, a weakened pelvic floor, diastasis of the abdominal muscles, vaginal prolapse, urinary or faecal incontinence, or pain during intercourse. Most of these complaints can be assessed and treated.

Complaints after childbirth should be examined by a gynaecologist, whether the birth was recent or several years ago. You can book an appointment with us for a gynaecological examination.

During birth, tears can occur in the vagina, the perineum or the sphincter around the anus. Tears are graded from 1 to 4. In grades 3 and 4 the sphincter is damaged; these are called sphincter injuries.

Most tears heal well. Some can still cause long-term complaints such as pain, tight scars, reduced sensation or discomfort during intercourse.
