Women receiving episiotomies have been shown to have a higher incidence of perineal trauma and maternal blood loss during delivery and more pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, and urinary incontinence in the postpartum period. 23 Episiotomy should be performed [clinicalgate.com]

The vascularity of the cervix also increases, giving rise to Chadwick’s sign (a blue-violet coloration). At the onset of labor, the cervical mucus plug is expelled, resulting in what is called a bloody show. [clinicalgate.com]

Doctors want to learn whether the new treatment is safe, effective, and possibly better than the standard treatment. Clinical trials can test a new drug, a new combination of standard treatments, or new doses of standard drugs or other treatments. [cancer.net]
Prognosis
Table 5 Clinical signs and prognosis No single clinical sign is significant as an indicator of poor prognosis in individual patients, but a combination of clinical signs may potentially improve the accuracy of prognosis; this has been analysed by Levy [jnnp.bmj.com]
However, if the cause is a head injury then prognosis is directly proportional to the GCS score, ie those with a score less than 8 having a very poor prognosis. [patient.info]
Prognosis The outcome for coma and persistent vegetative state depends on the cause, severity, and site of neurological damage. [ninds.nih.gov]
What Is the Prognosis for a Coma? In general, a coma is temporary, rarely lasting more than two to four weeks. After emerging from a coma, the prognosis is varied and typically depends upon the cause of the coma and the severity of the brain injury. [emedicinehealth.com]
What's the Prognosis for a Coma? The prognosis for a coma varies with each situation. The chances of a person's recovery depend on the cause of the coma, whether the problem can be corrected, and the duration of the coma. [webmd.com]
