Article Synopsis
- A perineal tear is an injury to the female genitalia during childbirth, which can happen naturally or due to surgical procedures like episiotomies, and ineffective pain management can lead to adverse effects.
- This study analyzed the impact of using warm compresses on perineal pain during labor by dividing 80 mothers into intervention and control groups, with measurements gathered on pain levels and perineal outcomes.
- Results showed that mothers who used warm compresses reported lower pain scores during various labor stages and had a higher percentage of intact perineums compared to those who did not use this method.*
