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
