The statement "The tear I have through my rectum is unrelated to my episiotomy." indicates a misunderstanding. A tear through the rectum, known as a third or fourth-degree tear, can be directly related to an episiotomy, especially if it extends or if the episiotomy was mediolateral. This misunderstanding suggests the patient requires further information about the nature of her injury and its relation to the episiotomy.
