Obstetric tears are complications of childbirth which include tears of the cervix, vagina, vulva and perineum. In 2015 in Mali, a rate of 81% of tearing of the perineum was found in parturients at the maternity ward of the reference health center of commune 5 of the district. In Cameroon, nearly 4,000 women die each year on the delivery tables, with a rate of tears that varies from 8 to 13.5%. The general objective of this study is to determine the factors favoring obstetric tears at the Dschang Annex Regional Hospital, to achieve this, we conducted an analytical study which took place from May 8 to June 2, 2023 at Dschang Annex Regional Hospital, with a questionnaire from 62 respondents entered according to the probability method by simple random sampling. The results obtained at the end of our survey indicate that of all our respondents, 12 come out of deliveries with a 1st degree tear, 5 with a 2nd degree tear, 4 with a 3rd degree tear and one with a 4th degree tear. degree. The main risk factors are: age, parity, history of perineal tears, excess fundal height, quality of perineal tissue (scarred perineum), macrosomia and duration of expulsive effort.
