Self-reported dyspareunia and outcome satisfaction after spontaneous second-degree tear compared to episiotomy: A register-based cohort study
Approximately one-third of women with either a spontaneous tear or an episiotomy reported mild or moderate dyspareunia at one year, while strong or unbearable pain was uncommon in both groups. The majority of women were satisfied or very satisfied with the outcome although episiotomy more often predicted dissatisfaction.
