Episiotomy (perineotomiy). Testimony.

The doctor decides on dissection of the perineum, when already the head of the fetus begins to appear. Episiotomy is a cut from the crotch to the side, it perineotomiy incision toward the anus.

Incision is made only on the testimony:
- The threat of rupture of the perineum (crotch when it was about to burst)
- Acute fetal hypoxia (a significant decrease in fetal heart rate) that the child is less affected by the birth
- Delivery in breech presentation - to reduce the likelihood of injury to the head, which is the last
- Premature birth - to facilitate the birth of a premature baby, his bones are soft, easily injured
- Green water - to facilitate the birth of a child who is already suffering from in utero
- The weakness of labor, when contractions over time does not increase or diminish, the disclosure of the cervix is slowed down and delayed childbirth.
