Benefits of Perineal Repair
Perineal Repair offers multiple benefits for women experiencing discomfort or functional issues after childbirth:
- Pain relief: Reduces discomfort caused by perineal tears.
- Restored anatomy: Reconstructs the perineum for improved structure and function.

- Enhanced comfort: Improves comfort during sitting, walking, and sexual activity.
- Improved quality of life: Supports physical, intimate, and emotional well-being.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Perineal Repair is recommended for women who have experienced:
- Childbirth-related perineal tears (first to fourth degree).
- Persistent pain, discomfort, or difficulty sitting.
- Changes in sexual function due to perineal damage.
- Visible scarring or deformity of the perineal area.

A consultation with a gynecologic surgeon at Elyzee Hospital ensures accurate assessment and personalized treatment planning.
Consultation and Preparation
Before the procedure, patients meet with our specialist to:

- Discuss surgical options and expected outcomes.

How Perineal Repair Is Performed
The procedure involves carefully reconstructing the torn or damaged perineal tissues. The surgeon:
- Removes any scar tissue or irregular healing.
- Sutures the perineal muscles and tissues to restore strength and support.
- Closes the skin with fine stitches for optimal cosmetic and functional results.
The procedure is typically performed under anesthesia to ensure complete comfort.
Recovery After Perineal Repair
- Discomfort: Mild pain, swelling, or tenderness is common and manageable with medication.
- Healing period: Most women resume normal activities within 2–4 weeks.
- Restrictions: Patients should avoid strenuous activity and sexual intercourse for several weeks.
- Follow-up care: Essential to monitor healing and ensure successful recovery.
Final Results
Once healing is complete, women can expect:
- Improved comfort and relief from pain.
- Restored perineal structure and appearance.
- Enhanced sexual function and confidence.
- Reduced risk of future complications.
