Investigating the Quality of Your Maternity Perineal Care
If you are struggling with the appalling symptoms of a 3rd or 4th degree tear and suspect that your maternity care was less than adequate, speak to a medical negligence solicitor about making a claim for compensation.
Perineal Care in Vaginal Childbirth
A competent assessment of the new mother's perineal region following the birth of her baby is essential in order to avoid permanent bowel problems. This should include a digital rectal examination to identify whether or not any damage has occurred to the muscles around the anus.
If this examination is not carried out or if an injury is incorrectly diagnosed, the woman may leave hospital with an unrepaired severe birth tear.
The subsequent symptoms of loss of control of the passing of wind and faeces can utterly alter the way in which the new mother experiences her life.
With such symptoms, she may struggle to work or may have to change her type of employment or working hours, resulting in a significant loss of income. She may require specialist equipment or treatment in order to manage her debilitating and distressing symptoms.
If this appalling situation has been the result of inadequate maternity care, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation to address the financial consequences, both past and future.
Investigating your care
Speak to a specialist medical negligence solicitor. They will be able to obtain copies of your medical records and investigate the quality of your care with the input of the best medical experts.
If it is found that your care was negligent in some way, such as identified above, your solicitor will carry out a meticulous assessment of all the financial losses and additional costs which you are experiencing as a result and incorporate these into your compensation claim.
