Question
Hello doctor,
I heard that if the pregnancy is large, you can make an episiotomy. When my wife heard that, she was very scared. Doctor let me ask is there any way to reduce pain when making an episiotomy or suturing the perineum? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Master, Doctor Ta Quang Hung - Department of General Surgery - Vinmec Da Nang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is there a way to reduce pain when having an episiotomy or an episiotomy? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Epidural anesthesia to relieve pain during labor is a safe method for both mother and baby. This method not only relieves pain for the mother during labor but also relieves the mother's pain when having to cut the episiotomy at the stage of delivery and when stitching the perineum.
In addition, to reduce postpartum pain due to the perineal incision, doctors may apply additional methods of anesthesia of the pudendal nerve to reduce pain for the mother. This method helps mothers be able to exercise early, take care of the baby, limit the transition to chronic pain, and reduce postpartum stress.
In the Vinmec hospital system, 2 methods of epidural anesthesia and pudendal nerve anesthesia are currently being applied to relieve labor pain, episiotomy and postpartum pain relief for pregnant women.
If you still have questions about pain relief when having an episiotomy, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
