 | | In some cases, the fibers of the deeper layer of the Sphincter ani externus decussate in front of the anus and are continued into this muscle. | | | It arises by tendinous fibers from the inner and forepart of the tuberosity of the ischium, and, running medialward, is inserted into the central tendinous point of the perineum, joining in this situation with the muscle of the opposite side, with the Sphincter ani externus behind, and with the Bulbocavernosus in front. | | | At this point six muscles converge and are attached: viz., the Sphincter ani externus, the Bulbocavernosus, the two Transversi perinæi superficiales, and the anterior fibers of the Levatores ani. |

| | Massage Not Effective for Preventing Tearing During Labor |
| | The technique involves massaging and stretching the perineum during the second stage of labor. | | | In the study, a water-soluble lubricant was used on the perineum during the massage, but McCartney says nurse midwives use a variety of substances including olive oil and vitamin E. McCartney says despite the study's findings, the real value of perineal massage for many women is the relaxation and comfort it can provide. | | | A technique called perineal massage is advocated by many nurse midwives as a natural method to protect the perineum from tearing or needing to be cut during labor. |

Signorello, MD. | | | Episiotomy is a surgical cutting of the perineal tissue between the vagina and the anus that is performed during labor to widen the birth canal, prevent severe tearing, and protect the anal sphincter muscle from damage. |
