Generally speaking, side cuts are more likely to cause laxity than tears. Women who give birth vaginally often have a lateral incision of the perineum because without it they are prone to tearing of the perineal body. A lateral incision involves cutting the perineum in the joint midline at the perineum in a 45-degree direction to the left, and because it is artificially controlled, the wound is usually 3 to 5 centimeters. The effect of a perineal lateral incision on vaginal laxity is minimal and not serious. However, if there is a severe perineal tear or vaginal tear, which tears into the muscles underneath the vaginal mucosa, it can have a more significant effect on vaginal laxity. So, if there is a comparison between a lateral cut and a tear, the effect of the tear on vaginal laxity is more pronounced, but it is important to note that the main cause of vaginal laxity is a normal delivery.
