What is a third or fourth degree tear? This is a type of tear sustained during vaginal childbirth which involves the tissue of the vagina, the perineum (the area between the vagina and the anus), and the structures around the anus.
A fourth-degree tear is also called fourth-degree laceration. This is an extensive tear that goes through the vaginal tissue and perineum (area between the vagina and anus) and stretches into the anal canal and rectum. As a result, this type of tear is also called an obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI).
The most severe type, a fourth-degree tear passes through the anal sphincter and into the mucous membrane that lines the rectum, known as the rectal mucosa.

Factors associated with increased risk for third- and fourth-degree lacerations were midline episiotomy, nulliparity, second-stage arrest, occipitoposterior position, low or mid station, use of forceps instead of vacuum, use of local anesthesia, and Asian race.
Vaginal tears during childbirth, also called perineal lacerations or tears, occur when the baby's head is coming through the vaginal opening and is either too large for the vagina to stretch around or the head is a normal size but the vagina doesn't stretch easily. These kinds of tears are relatively common.
