I know there is a difference, but so far I only found sources on episiotomy and the stitches following that procedure, but no sources on stitches after natural tears.

I have said nothing about husband stitches, although I read about the practice (or urban legend) while googling the subject of pereneal stitching. I also have never said that doctors should let tears happen (and leave untreated?), so count me equally confused.

Thank you!

Thank you for your answer and source! Very interesting.

I got a digital version, I will let you know what I have found as soon as possible. Thank you!
