Subject: episiotomy after a phentons operation
Dear Midwife,
I am in a bit of a difficult situation over the queation of weather or not
to have a routine episiotomy during the birth of my second child and wonder
if you could please offer any advise?
I gave birth to my son 10 years ago and all wnet well except that I was
given a routine episiotomy, unfortunately, I also tore. I put up with much
discomfort and pain for 2 years after the birth, only to be told I required
a Phentons operation to sort out the problem. I went ahead with the op and
all was much improved after.
I am unsure weather to go with my widwifes advise and have another cut to
avoid the same happening again as I feel I am now a different shape and have
been doing massage with oils to help the area stretch.
I have stage 4 endometriosis and have had several lots of surgery etc. over
the last 2 years and so want to avoid further surgery if possible, Please
help me if you can - any advise or thoughts on the matter would be greatly
appreciated.
I am due to give birth around the 16th Aug.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this and hopefully offer some advise.
Yours Annabel
