Vulval & Perineal Trauma Management - Perineal Surgeries
Understanding Vulval and Perineal Trauma
Vulval and perineal trauma refers to injuries or complications affecting the vulva and perineum, often caused by childbirth, accidents, or surgical interventions. Such injuries can result in pain, discomfort, urinary or sexual dysfunction, and long-term complications if not treated properly.
At our clinic, Dr. Padma Bharathi Pathi, an expert Consultant Gynaecologist with over 30 years of global experience, provides comprehensive evaluation, surgical care, and long-term management to restore both function and comfort.
Causes of Vulval and Perineal Trauma
Common causes include:
- Childbirth-related injuries – tears, episiotomy complications, or perineal lacerations
- Accidental injuries – falls, burns, or external trauma
- Previous surgical complications – poor healing or scarring
- Pelvic floor weakness – leading to discomfort and prolapse
Symptoms to Watch For
Women may experience:
- Pain, swelling, or bruising in the vulval or perineal area
- Discomfort during walking, sitting, or sexual activity

- Scar tissue formation or persistent irritation
Prompt medical assessment ensures timely intervention and prevents long-term complications.
