Vagina Tearing to Anus

Hey moms, I just need to vent... When I gave birth, I had a normal delivery. But guess what... my vagina tore all the way to my anus. I don't know whose fault it was, but what I do know is that I was extremely panicked during the birth. Even though I had attended prenatal classes frequently... I panicked and pushed hastily. I pushed chaotically and didn't follow the doctor's instructions... I also rarely did perineal massages because I found them uncomfortable. But now, I really regret it... To all the moms who are about to give birth, please don't repeat my mistakes.

I also had that worry before I gave birth. I gave perineal massage a few tries before I was lazy to do it. But during birth my gynae gave me an episiotomy so I think that might be way I didn't tear all the way till my anus. My first poop was a breeze.

Around two weeks? It feels like a diagonal or an L shaped cut. The area right below the vaginal healed fast. The area at the end of the cut has a bit of bump that feels tender when pressed still, 3 months pp
