Reply to comment by [deleted] in A question on the history of perineal stitches after giving birth by Endorion

Only one stitch is called that, it's a stitch past the tear where it would have been naturally open. The stitches putting things right where there was tearing are a part of normal health care.

My first baby had a very large head. I had an episiotomy, and stitches to repair it (nothing extra). Everything went well.
