Perineorrhaphy (Perineal Repair) at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, Dubai Marina – JBR
At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, we offer Perineorrhaphy, a specialized surgical procedure designed to repair the perineum — the area between the vagina and anus — which may be damaged during childbirth, trauma, or other conditions. This procedure is commonly recommended for women experiencing issues such as perineal tears or pelvic floor weakness.
Our team of highly skilled obstetricians and gynecologists in Dubai Marina provides gentle and compassionate care, ensuring that your comfort and privacy are always prioritized.
What is Perineorrhaphy?
Perineorrhaphy is a surgical repair of the perineum, typically after a perineal tear or episiotomy (a surgical cut made during childbirth). The procedure aims to restore the anatomy of the perineum, improve pelvic floor function, and promote healing, reducing discomfort and improving quality of life.
The procedure involves suturing the tissues to repair any damage to the perineal muscles and skin. It can be performed either in cases where there is a first-degree (minor tear) or third-degree or fourth-degree tear, which may affect deeper tissues, including the anal sphincter.
Why Might You Need Perineorrhaphy?
Perineorrhaphy is commonly performed for women who have experienced:
- Perineal Tears During Childbirth: These may involve damage to the skin, muscles, or deeper tissues of the perineum. Tears can range from mild (first-degree) to severe (third-degree or fourth-degree), requiring surgical repair.
- Episiotomy: This is a surgical incision made to enlarge the vaginal opening during childbirth. If the incision heals poorly or causes discomfort, a perineorrhaphy may be needed to ensure proper healing and restore function.
- Pelvic Floor Weakness: Over time, childbirth or aging can cause weakening of the perineal muscles, resulting in urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or sexual dysfunction. Perineorrhaphy can help strengthen the area, improving both function and appearance.
- Chronic Pain or Discomfort: If there is ongoing pain or discomfort in the perineum due to previous childbirth injuries, surgery can repair the damaged tissues and alleviate symptoms.
Benefits of Perineorrhaphy
- Restores Anatomy and Function: It helps restore the natural structure of the perineum, improving the pelvic floor and vaginal tone.
- Relieves Pain: Repairing tears or scars can relieve pain during sexual intercourse and discomfort in daily activities.
- Improves Pelvic Health: Strengthening the perineal muscles can reduce the risk of urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and other pelvic floor disorders.
- Aesthetic Improvement: In some cases, the procedure can improve the appearance of the perineum, especially if there has been scarring or significant changes post-childbirth.
- Enhances Sexual Function: Restoring the integrity of the perineal tissues can improve sensitivity and comfort during sex, helping to address issues like vaginal laxity or reduced sensation.
What to Expect During Perineorrhaphy
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our expert gynecologists will assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and determine if perineorrhaphy is the right procedure for you. We will explain the procedure in detail, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
- Anesthesia: The surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure. You will not feel any pain during the surgery.
- Surgical Procedure: The surgeon will carefully repair the perineum using dissolvable stitches. The incision or tear is stitched up to restore the anatomy and improve tissue strength. In some cases, additional procedures may be performed to address pelvic floor weakness or urinary incontinence.
- Recovery: After surgery, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort in the perineal area, which is normal. Our team will provide you with instructions on how to manage post-operative care, including pain management, wound care, and when it’s safe to resume daily activities.
Aftercare and Recovery
- Post-Operative Care: After perineorrhaphy, you may be advised to avoid strenuous activities, including lifting heavy objects or engaging in vigorous exercise, for several weeks to promote healing.
- Pain Management: Mild discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. We may also recommend ice packs or sitz baths to ease swelling and pain in the perineal area.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure the repair is progressing as expected.
- Sexual Activity: You should avoid sexual intercourse for at least 6 weeks following the procedure to allow proper healing.
- Return to Normal Activities: Most women can return to work and regular activities after 4– 6 weeks, depending on the extent of the repair and how quickly you heal.
