The changes that occur during the puerperium include all systems including the reproductive organs such as the uterus and vulva, from physiological to pathological changes as a result of complications during the puerperium. Complications of the puerperium are abnormal conditions during the puerperium caused by the entry of germs to the genetalia during labor and the puerperium, one of the complications of the puerperium, namely a rupture, is also called a perineal tear or laceration.
