What is episiotomy?

Updated: Oct 30, 2022

Episiotomy is a cut or incision made between the vagina and the anus (this area is called the perineum) to help deliver the baby in case of a complication arising during birth. This procedure enlarges the vaginal opening and the cut or incision can be made vertically or at an angle based on what your doctor recommends.
