@artemis @MxVerda I know at least a half a dozen women who experienced this after giving birth. Some doctors felt it was required after an episiotomy and that an episiotomy was always required for vaginal childbirth.

@MxVerda @artemis fortunately I had an amazing midwife for both births, but in the 80s midwives with hospital privileges were few and far between.
