Struggling to Cope With 3rd Degree Tear Negligence Symptoms
Returning home from the maternity ward with a baby, a new mother has plenty to think about and plenty to do. Discovering that she is developing severe bowel problems can be extremely distressing and create a whole additional range of difficulties and challenges.
Third degree tear diagnosis
Third degree tears are a risk of vaginal childbirth and, as such, should attract the close attention of maternity professionals to check for any damage and ensure a prompt repair.
An accurate diagnosis and a comprehensive repair should ensure that a new mother's bowel symptoms are resolved.
A failure to carry out an examination, a failure to identify any damage or a failure to diagnose any damage accurately can all result in the new mother facing a lifetime of bowel dysfunction.
Coping with the challenges
The long-term implications are challenging:
- Many areas of employment may now be unsuitable due to the new mother's bowel symptoms. Among many others, this could include hospitality, education, policing, healthcare and retail. Not only might the woman suffer a loss of earnings and the loss of a career because of this, but she may also have to retrain for a new career path
- The time-consuming nature of coping with her bowel problems may also mean that she can now only work part-time, thereby increasing her financial losses
- In order to manage her symptoms as effectively as possible, the new mother may need to undergo additional treatment and use specialist equipment, both of which could be extremely costly
- We often find that these appalling injuries and shocking symptoms causa a significant impact on a woman's self-confidence and leave her feeling isolated and reluctant to leave her home. This can have a wider impact on her personal relationships and her ability to support her baby as it grows up
If negligent maternity care in managing a 3rd degree tear is responsible for this terrible situation, a successful compensation claim should address those financial challenges and help the woman to cope with her new situation.
