“…Shepherd et al in a systematic review that included 17 RCTs compared a single dose of aspirin against placebo for pain relief, aspirin showed superiority (RR 2.03,95% CI 1.69-2.4). and decrease additional analgesia application (RR 0.25, 95% CI 0.17-0.37), same results were shown when 300mg, 600mg or 1200mg comparison was done [11]. Regarding the use of cryotherapy, a systematic review showed limited and low-quality evidence in the use of freezing treatments for 10 to 20 minutes (ice pack or freezer gel pad) in concomitant use with analgesic or antiinflammatories to relieve pain in the first two days postpartum.…”

“…Pain levels of the intervention groups were lower compared to the control group, while pain levels of the ice group were lower than the lavender group. Many women experience pain in the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) following childbirth (27). The pain caused by episiotomy impacted on women's daily life (28).…”

“…After childbirth, perineal pain can interfere with women's ability to care for their newborns and establish breastfeeding. If perineal pain is not relieved effectively, longerterm problems for women may include painful sexual intercourse, pelvic floor problems resulting in incontinence, prolapse, or chronic perineal pain (27). It has been shown in a study on the use of analgesics for the relief of perineal pain that a single dose of paracetamol is very effective both in relieving perineal pain and in reducing the need for additional analgesic use (29).…”

Aim: The present study investigates the effects of lavender oil and ice applications on episiotomy pain and wound healing. Materials and Methods: This study was organized as a semi-randomized controlled type of research. A total of 96 term pregnant women who gave birth in the delivery service of Nazilli State Hospital and underwent episiotomy at birth, had a Visual Analog Skala (VAS) value greater than 3 and agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The patient information form, the Visual Analog Scale, and the REEDA Scale were used for data collection. The research data was analyzed using number, percentage, the chi-square test, the Kruskal Wallis test, the Mann-Whitney U test, One-Way Anova test, Tukey HD test, and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. Results: The mean VAS values of the groups before the application were 7.90±0.92 for the lavender group, 8.29±1.03 for the ice group, and 8.00±1.00 for the control group. In addition, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the VAS values between the groups after the application (p<0.05), and the mean VAS values in the intervention groups decreased (Lavender group 6.84±1.08, ice group 5.70±1.53). While there was no statistically significant difference in the mean REEDA recovery scores between the groups before the application (p=0.912), there was a statistically significant difference in the REEDA recovery scores of the intervention groups and the control group after the application (p=0.000). Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, lavender oil and ice applications used after labor reduce perineal pain and accelerate wound healing.

“…Some perineal tears are treated with stitches, first-class tears do not require treatment because they do not destroy the female anatomy and are hemostatic, and other tears require an episiotomy [ 7 , 9 ]. Antibiotic therapy is necessary for postoperative care to avoid infection, and analgesics are also crucial in the postoperative period [ 7 , 10 , 11 ].…”
