Husband stitch

Husband Stitch

The Husband Stitch (pronunciation: /ˈhʌzbənd stɪtʃ/), also known as the Daddy Stitch, is a controversial and largely discredited practice in Obstetrics and Gynecology that involves the surgical tightening of the Vagina after childbirth. The procedure is performed with the intention of enhancing sexual pleasure for the male partner, hence the term 'Husband Stitch'.

Etymology

The term 'Husband Stitch' is derived from the notion that the stitch is performed for the benefit of the husband, with the aim of increasing his sexual pleasure. The term is often used pejoratively due to the controversial nature of the practice.

Procedure

The Husband Stitch is typically performed following a Perineal Tear or an Episiotomy, which are common occurrences during childbirth. The stitch is an extra suture added to the perineum after it has been cut or torn during delivery. This additional stitch is intended to make the vaginal opening smaller than it was prior to childbirth.

Controversy

The practice of the Husband Stitch has been widely criticized for its lack of medical justification and potential to cause harm. Critics argue that the procedure can lead to complications such as Painful Intercourse, Vaginal Stenosis, and Dyspareunia. Furthermore, the practice has been condemned for its patriarchal implications, as it prioritizes male sexual pleasure over the health and comfort of the woman.
