Perineal Problems After Childbirth

Approximately 80-90% of women experience a vaginal tear during childbirth. The majority are small tears that heal up without any problems. Vaginal tears can occasionally be more severe, involving the muscles around the back passage, the labia or the clitoris.

These complex tears can leave women with both physical and psychological scars and can impact on future pregnancies.

Women can often experience problems several weeks or months after delivery. The most common problems are:

  • Healing problems
  • Painful scar formation
  • Pain during sex
  • Poor cosmetic appearance of the vaginal opening or labia

The vast majority of problems settle down and resolve by around 3 months after delivery. If you are still experiencing problems at this stage you should see a specialist as you may require further treatment.

What treatments are available?

  • Injection of scar tissue with medications to improve pain and reduce scar formation
  • Injection of Botulinum toxin to pelvic floor muscles or vulva to improve pain
  • Fenton’s procedure (day case operation to remove scar tissue and refashion perineum)
  • Labiaplasty
