Understanding Your Condition
After childbirth, the perineum may have a scar from an episiotomy or tear, or changes in muscular support. Perineoplasty is a reconstructive procedure considered in certain clearly defined situations. Not every discomfort after childbirth requires surgery.
Symptoms and Situations
A painful scar, discomfort during intercourse, a pulling sensation, difficulty feeling comfortable in everyday life or a perineal opening perceived as troublesome are reasons for consultation.
Types and Key Differences
Situations vary: a tender superficial scar, consequences of a tear, muscle damage or a problem combined with pelvic organ prolapse. A scar-related problem must not be confused with a muscular disorder.
Which Investigations May Be Recommended?
The consultation covers childbirth history, healing, the location of discomfort and previous care. Dr Ines Ben Hassen Hached may offer a suitable perineal assessment while respecting the patient's comfort.
Which Treatment Options May Be Discussed?
Care may include scar treatment, pelvic-floor rehabilitation or, for certain indications, a reconstructive procedure. It is important to establish exactly what the patient would like to improve.
Preparation and Follow-Up at the Practice
The treatment schedule takes account of the time since childbirth, possible breastfeeding and the patient's daily routine. The consultation explains local aftercare and the planned checkups.
