Systematic Review Perineal Pain
This systematic review, conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO, analyzed six studies after screening 57 potentially relevant ones. Lavender was found to significantly reduce pain and accelerate healing of episiotomy wounds. Perineal pain, often stemming from perineal trauma like episiotomies, can impede mobility and daily activities for postpartum mothers. The study suggests routine Lavender use post-delivery for potential benefits, but acknowledges the need for further research due to observed heterogeneity in results. It emphasizes caution in interpreting Lavender's effects on episiotomy healing.
