Severe tears are called third degree and fourth degree lacerations. A third degree laceration is a tear that extends through vaginal tissue, perineal skin, and perineal muscles that extend into the muscles around the anus. A fourth degree laceration extends to the anal sphincter and the tissue beneath it. These severe tears can cause problems with incontinence later. Infections are possible, but are unlikely if youâre receiving proper treatment.
