If the perineum is relatively high and elastic, or if the fetus is delivered with a suction device or forceps, it needs to be done. If the perineum is relatively elastic, and it is not very high and thin, it does not need to be cut. Perineum lateral cut, the doctor needs to check and observe the labor process to determine whether it needs to be cut. If the fetal head is relatively large and the perineum condition is relatively poor, it is easy to show difficulties in the fetal emergence and will show fetal asphyxia. Therefore, if the doctor determines that a lateral episiotomy is necessary, it can be performed directly.
