The perineum is the area at the base of the pelvis. During childbirth this area can tear, and it can also change in its anatomy or appearance for various reasons — age, births, weight changes, and so on. This clinic is for women dealing with discomfort or pain in the vaginal area, which may be linked to stitching after birth or to intimacy. During your visit, the team carries out a thorough assessment, and together with you decide on the next steps based on what they find.
Among the things treated here:
Tears caused during childbirth. The treatment depends on the severity of the tear: mild cases can be handled with an episiotomy (a controlled incision and stitching under local anesthetic, in the delivery room), while more serious cases are treated in the operating room (including follow-up by a specialist in the urogynecology clinic).
Repair of changes that occur during pregnancy and call for careful treatment and restoration of the area’s anatomy.
Hymenectomy — surgically opening or removing the hymen, under local anesthetic.
Labiaplasty — treating various physical changes in the area caused by age, births, or weight changes, which can lead to discomfort or even pain. This is done in the operating room under general anesthetic, after assessment and referral by a doctor and a full explanation of the process.
Our doctors and nurses provide especially sensitive care with the utmost discretion, using advanced, up-to-date technology, and appointments are readily available.
