Clinical examination and pictures
A clinical examination is needed to assess the healing process for the three groups. After assessing the healing process, we will take pictures of the tear for documentation.
Questionnaire
The participant will answer questions, serving as a baseline questionnaire, when arriving at the clinical examination one month post-partum. At three and 9-12 months post-postpartum, they will receive another questionnaire. The questionnaire will consist of validated questions regarding body image, pain, Urogynecological problems as symptoms of prolapse, urinary and anal incontinence, and questions about sexual problems.
