🔬 What is OASI?

OASI refers to third-degree tears (involving the anal sphincter muscles) or fourth-degree tears (additionally involving the rectal lining) that occur during vaginal delivery. Left unrepaired or inadequately treated, it can lead to perineal pain, painful intercourse, or flatal/faecal incontinence.

✅ Treatment & Recovery

  • Primary repair is performed immediately at the time of delivery in the majority of cases
  • Secondary repair is needed in 2.6–3% of cases where healing is incomplete, and can be safely performed early (within 21 days) rather than waiting months
  • ✓ Strict pelvic rest for 6 weeks post-repair supports proper healing
  • ✓ Follow-up visits at 1–2 weeks check for wound separation, infection, or hematoma
  • ✓ Pelvic floor physiotherapy supports full functional recovery
