Perineal tear treatment after vaginal delivery in Bangladesh

Natural childbirth is a beautiful process, but sometimes it leads to serious internal injuries that go unnoticed. One such condition is perineal injury. When these injuries are not diagnosed and treated on time, this can result in lifelong suffering. At Dr. Tariq Akhtar Khan, we offer dedicated old perineal tear (after vaginal delivery) treatment in Bangladesh with proven results.

In many parts of Bangladesh, women silently endure the aftermath of perineal injuries caused during childbirth, often due to the lack of proper diagnosis or follow-up care. We focus on restoring both health and dignity through professional, compassionate treatment.

Old Perineal Tear Treatment

What is perineal tear treatment?

OASIS (Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries) occurs when the muscles around the anus tear during natural delivery. These injuries are usually classified into two types:

  • Third-Degree Tear: The injury affects the external anal sphincter and sometimes the internal one as well.
  • Fourth-Degree Tear: This is more severe, as it extends into the rectal lining.

When these tears aren’t treated right after childbirth, it can cause bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, discomfort during intimacy, and emotional distress. Early detection and the right medical care can prevent these long-term effects.

Common Causes of an perineal tear during childbirth

Certain childbirth conditions raise the risk of OASIS, especially in facilities that lack skilled birth attendants. Risk factors include:

  • First-time vaginal delivery
  • Large baby (weighing more than 3.5 kg)
  • Assisted delivery using forceps or vacuum
  • Straight (midline) episiotomy
  • Prolonged second stage of labor
  • Lack of perineal support during delivery

How we diagnose old perineal tear at Dr. Tariq Akhtar Khan?

Many women who visit us were misdiagnosed or ignored for years. We listen carefully and use a step-by-step process to diagnose the condition properly:

Clinical examination

  • We take a complete history focusing on delivery experiences and current complaints.
  • A physical examination checks for signs of muscle injury or scar formation.

Diagnostic tests

  • Endoanal Ultrasound: Helps identify tears that were never repaired.
  • Anorectal Manometry: Measures muscle function and tone.
  • Pelvic MRI: Used in more complex cases for a full view of the pelvic area.

Treatment options for an old perineal tear

Our treatment plans depend on the severity of your condition. We offer both non-surgical and surgical options.

Non-surgical care

This works best for mild symptoms and includes:

  • Low residual diet (fibre restriction): Making stool little bit hard helps to control bowel. In presence of anal sphincter injury, liquid stool may cause fecal incontinence.
  • Medications to manage loose stools
  • Bowel habit training
  • Pelvic floor muscle therapy
  • Lifestyle changes and education

Surgical repair (Sphincteroplasty)

For more severe damage, surgery may be necessary. We specialize in:

  • Overlapping sphincteroplasty: Muscles are brought together to restore function in case of complete disruption with a wide gap between two ends of torn muscle.
  • End-to-end repair: Used for curing injuries with minimal tissue loss.
