Third and fourth degree perineal lacerations are tears that occur in the vagina and skin and may involve the muscles and tissues between the vagina and anus. These tears can be deep, frequently require surgical repair and may result in short or long-term discomfort. High vaginal trauma is a laceration of the vaginal wall (internal) without involvement of external tissues (perineum). Repair may be needed and as with perineal lacerations, may result in on-going discomfort.
