If i don't get epis and tear, will the scarring cause me to tear worse next pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Release of the restriction for birthing is a safer, more controlled option to the potential tears that can occur if not done. Scarring will result in either case, just that the surgical release places the scar in a more ideal position. This is common in most vaginal deliveries in controlled situations.
