A member asked:
If my ob had overlooked a tear to the ias while repairing a partial 4th degree (eas and rectal mucosa only, per delivery notes), i would be experiencing significant symptoms @ 12 weeks pp, correct?

Not always: Sometimes these will heal even if not repaired. However if you're noticing problems with stool leakage or emptying bowels, see your doctor.

Most likely: a tear to the IAS would be a very big tear.
