Previously it was believed that episiotomy shortens the pushing phase and, thus, reduces the chance that the baby will suffer from oxygen deprivation, that it protects the foetal skull and brain from damage as it is "thrust against" the pelvic floor and prevents ragged perineal tears and "permanent relaxation of the pelvic floor with its possible sequelae of cystocoele, rectocele, and uterine prolapse".2-5 Another reason given by many doctors in support of episiotomy is to maintain vaginal tightness for the enhanced pleasure of a sexual partner.
