3rd Degree Tears
If You Have Suffered A Third Degree Tear During Childbirth, We Advise You To Read On So That You Can Discover Your Legal Rights And Decide Whether You Should Make A Claim For Medical Negligence Compensation...
If your birth is well planned and well cared for, you should be able to avoid a 3rd degree tear and have a pain and trouble free birth. However, if your medical team miss obvious signs that you are likely to tear during birth and fail to take preventative action, such as an episiotomy or caesarian birth, you may well be able to claim medical negligence compensation.
What Is A 3rd Degree Tear!
A 3rd degree tear is a tear of the skin often extending into the perineal skin and the perineal muscles during child birth. It can cause severe pain and potentially lead to long term complications including discomfort when visiting the toilet and during sexual intercourse. However, early and urgent medical attention can dramatically improve your chances of a full recovery. Our specialist 3rd degree tear solicitors will not only focus on your legal rights, but also your need for remedial medical attention.
When Does A 3rd Degree Tear Amount To Medical Negligence?
A mother may be at risk of a third degree tear in all of the following circumstances:
- When it is clear the baby is too large to be born naturally;
- When the mother's perineum is not as flexible as it needs to be;
- The second stage of labour takes longer than expected;
- It is a first birth; or
- Labour is induced.
If the medical team ignore any of the above circtumstances, or take no action in spite of these circumstances, it may well amount to medical negligence.
