Husband stitch

The husband stitch or husband's stitch,[1] also known as the daddy stitch,[2] husband's knot and vaginal tuck,[3] is a medically unnecessary and potentially harmful surgical procedure in which one or more additional sutures than necessary are used to repair a woman's perineum after it has been torn or cut during childbirth.[a] The purported purpose is to tighten the opening of the vagina and thereby enhance the pleasure of the patient's male sex partner during penetrative intercourse.[4]
