Summary
Postpartum perineal pain is a very common complaint. It can have negative consequences for
mother and child including disability in daily functioning for the mother; for example, it
can interfere in taking care of her infant and in breastfeeding. Early pain management is
thus relevant to provide relief and prevent chronicity.
Perineal pain is particularly common following childbirth. Macarthur 2004, in a prospective
cohort study involving 447 women in Canada, reported an incidence of perineal pain, in the
first day after birth, of 75% in women with an intact perineum
