About

The purpose of the study is to find out the effect of pelvic floor rehab combined with ultrasound have effect in chronic perineal pain subjects associated with osteomyoarticular symptoms .

Full description

Chronic perineal pain is the anorectal and perineal pain without underlying organic disease, anorectal or endopelvic, which has been excluded by careful physical examination, radiological and endoscopic investigations. So, perineal and vaginal pain after vaginal delivery has been associated with tissue trauma related to operative vaginal delivery, perineal laceration, and episiotomy.

Studies assessing chronic pain after vaginal delivery report 2% to 10% of women with pain at six months and later, almost exclusively in mothers who had an assisted vaginal birth. Postpartum pain intensity is usually higher when it is related to vaginal delivery than to cesarean delivery and more severely affects the woman's quality of life and mood.
