Sponsor's own description
Surgical incision of the perineum and the posterior vaginal wall during a vaginal delivery (episiotomy) is among the most common surgical procedures performed in obstetrics. On the condition of having been performed correctly and in certain situations, episiotomy can be beneficial for a mother in decreasing the risk of a serious perineum injury. The benefit for a foetus can lie in acceleration of the final stage of delivery in the event of acute foetal distress. Many adverse effects are however connected to episiotomy. The morbidity connected to episiotomy can affect physical, mental, and social well-being of women during immediate as well as long-term post-partum periods. Currently, there are no universal standards that would describe and recommend physiotherapy for women following episiotomy during the first days, weeks, and months after a delivery. Care about the wound and the resulting scar after giving birth with episiotomy is an important topic because clinical experience shows that scars in the perineal area can have negative effects on the function of the pelvic floor muscles, on perineum pains, sexual health, and on mental well-being of a woman. Treatment of women with perineal wounds therefore requires a multidisciplinary approach, in which doctors, physiotherapists, and other medical professionals should be aware of the impact of a perineal scar on the quality of woman's life. Treatment or perineal scars, external genitalia, and the pelvic floor together with a targeted education of women in individual care after their scars should be part of evidence-based practice.
