Which is more serious? The side cut is generally cut by doctors with medical knives. The wound is relatively overall, while the side cut wound is irregular. Therefore, the overall length of the side cut wound is only about 2-5 cm. It is convenient for subsequent doctors to suture, and it is relatively easy for postpartum healing. Due to irregular laceration wounds and different degrees of damage, doctors suture relatively complex, and subsequent recovery is relatively slow. From this point of view, the tear during normal labor is still more serious, so you should communicate with the doctor before giving birth and perform a lateral incision according to your own situation.
