It is not unusual for the perineum to tear during labour, and it can also tear slightly during sex. The tearing can be severe or mild, generally with perineum tears from sex being mild and tears during labour being anywhere between mild and severe.

Mild tears should heal on their own. Moderate-severe tears often need medical attention, as they will need stitches. These more severe tears take longer to heal, but in most cases heal with no lasting damage. However, they do make the patient more likely to tear again.
