Dr. Compton and Dr. Hawkins both wanted to caution that doing perineal massage does not guarantee that you will not tear, and that some degree of tearing is a normal part of vaginal birth. Says Dr. Hawkins, "The human body is designed to stretch and accommodate the baby's passage. It’s essential to consult with healthcare professionals, midwives, or childbirth educators who can provide accurate and up-to-date information, address any concerns, and guide you through the birthing process based on your individual needs and circumstances."​

Dr. Compton also shared that while the idea of tearing during childbirth is really scary, it's best to try not to think about it because "every pregnancy and delivery is different." And Dr. Hawkins echoed this, noting that it can be crucial to consider perineal massaging and that "as a gynecologist, I cannot emphasize the significance of prioritizing perineal care and seeking appropriate support to ensure optimal sexual well-being and overall quality of life for women."
