Episiotomy is one of the most commonly performed operative procedures and yet little information is available on the subjective reactions in the puerperium to this procedure. The present study was designed to furnish information on the attitudes of patients, levels of pain, and of course recovery by studying a consecutive series of 101 Caucasian primiparea who received episiotomies at delivery. Women were interviewed within 24 hours of delivery and then, at three months after delivery, completed a questionnaire. The high level of pain experienced was noteworthy. Labour pain and episiotomy pain were uncorrelated, indicating the importance of distinguishing between them. Several women were experiencing problems at the three-month follow-up, with some attributing these to the episiotomy repair. The data are presented in the framework of providing women in the postpartum period with systematic information on the nature of postepisiotomy pain and subsequent recovery to facilitate their adjustment.
会阴切开术是最常施行的手术操作之一，但关于产褥期产妇对该手术主观反应的信息却很少。本研究旨在通过对连续101例分娩时接受会阴切开术的白种初产妇进行研究，提供有关患者态度、疼痛程度以及恢复情况的信息。在分娩后24小时内对产妇进行访谈，然后在分娩后三个月让她们填写一份问卷。所经历的高度疼痛值得关注。分娩疼痛与会阴切开术疼痛不相关，这表明区分两者的重要性。在三个月的随访中有几名妇女出现问题，一些人将这些问题归因于会阴切开术的修复。这些数据是在为产后妇女提供关于会阴切开术后疼痛性质和后续恢复的系统信息以促进她们适应的框架内呈现的。
