Violência obstétrica e consequências da episiotomia no puerpério tardio: repercussões no universo feminino

Abstract

The present paper consists of an integrative and bibliographic review research, whose guiding question is: what consequences can unnecessary episiotomy cause in women in late postpartum period? This study aims to show the real importance of the subject mentioned, considering that many women suffer some type of obstetric violence without knowing the subject. We sought, through the analysis of scientific productions, to analyze cases of obstetric violence through unnecessary episiotomy, without the woman's consent and whether such conduct caused damage in the late postpartum period. Thus, it was possible to observe that this type of violence negatively influences, even in the late postpartum period, psychologically and physically the women who suffered it, with this it was possible to expand knowledge on the subject, being useful not only for health professionals, but also for women and their partners.
