Thread: Perinium tear not stitched after birth, is this normal practice?

during the birth of my daughter my perinium tore (the bit between the vagina and anus) and it may have also tore upwards towards uretha, the midwife insisted that i didnt need stitches because it was only minor but only recently I had a look down there and it looks damaged and like it should of been stitched up. 1 year has passed now and I dont know what to do and Im not happy with the way my vagina looks. The midwife said it only tore about 1 cm but it looks like a lot more than that. has anyone else had this problem and has anyone had vaginal reconstructive surgery?
