Abstract: Episiotomy is the most frequently performed surgical procedure for labour management especially when expedited delivery is warranted as in non-reassuring fetal heart rate tracing, a prolonged second stage of labour, or when operative vaginal delivery is indicated [1-3]. Postpartum perineal pain and dyspareunia affect about 42% of primiparous women within the first 2 weeks after vaginal delivery. Pain resolved in the majority of women within 2 months after delivery. Spontaneous second degree tears cause less perineal pain than episiotomies [4].
