Trauma to the perineum and genital tract is extremely common during childbirth; it has recently been reported that an overall rate of between 85%-95% of women will suffer some degree of genital tract trauma (Albers et al, 1999; Williams et al, 1998). A perineal wound can be surgically induced by performing an episiotomy or can spontaneously occur as a naturally occurring tear. An episiotomy (a cut) is performed by a midwife or doctor when there is an indication to intervene, such as the fetus being in distress or when a forceps delivery is necessary. Perineal tears are classified by the severity of the wound and tissue layers involved. A 1st degree tear (involving skin layer only) a 2nd degree tear (involving deeper tissue layers) and a 3rd/4th degree tear (involving the anal sphincter).
When reviewing women's casenotes retrospectively, reports of birth trauma demonstrate that episiotomies and perineal tears are documented but often other sites of genital trauma such as vaginal lacerations are frequently not reported (Shiono et al, 1990). A more recent study reviewed the distribution of all genital tract trauma (McCandlish et al, 1998). This study reported that a decrease in episiotomy rates is now clearly evident and the most commonly identified trauma was either a first or second degree tear. Approximately 50% of women sustained outer vaginal lacerations i.e.labial and periurethral. Clitoral and 3rd/4th degree tears occurred very rarely (1.4%). It was also noted that some women sustained grazes, bruising, swelling, haemorrhoids, prolapse, cysts and skin tags. In addition, it was reported that approximately 15% of women give birth without any trauma but these women still reported some perineal pain at 2 days, 10 days and 3 months post-delivery (Albers et al, 1999). Postnatal perineal pain and discomfort has been reported to have numerous negative consequences for women (Steen é Marchant, 2002). It is, therefore, very important that safe and effective methods to alleviate the pain and discomfort are available.
In the United Kingdom approximately 60% - 70% of women will require stitches of either a spontaneous tear, or an episiotomy. Even women who don't have stitches experience pain and discomfort in this very sensitive area.
It is impossible to predict how much your perineum will stretch during the birthing process, or to know if you will be among the majority of women who will need stitches. Studies have shown however that all women will continue to experience some bruising, swelling and soreness after giving birth.
While we know that also that this soreness can last for less than 24 hours for some lucky women, it can continue for up to 10 - 12 days. The amount of pain can range between a mild discomfort to a chronic, severe pain.
Because you won't know if you will be among the women who will suffer from this syndrome it is wise to be prepared. Femé Pad® provides a cost-effective way of relieving this problem and you can start to use, and get benefit BEFORE you give birth.
During their second and third trimesters many women suffer from vaginal yeast infections (Thrush) and sometimes, from haemorrhoids. Femé Pad® can be used as a treatment to relieve the symptoms of both these conditions so you can start to experience the cooling and soothing of Femé Pad® right away.
Femé Pad® is a specially designed cooling cushion that combines the soothing and numbing effects of an ice pack, with a comfortable gel filled cushion that will soothe away your pain to help you feel better right away. Now the ice pack and the cushion just got better.
Femé Pad® applies controlled cooling directly to the painful area. It gets straight to the site of the pain and brings instant relief. Its cooling and cushioning effects numb the pain and reduces the bruising and swelling. Femé Pad® cools, soothes and protects.
After cooling in your freezer, or the ice making compartment of the refrigerator, the specially shaped cushion is wrapped in its own soft, non-woven, sleeve and can be applied directly to the painful area. Femé Pad® then does just what its name suggests, it naturally eases the soreness and helps you feel better right away.
Because Femé Pad® is not a drug you can have confidence that easing your pain is not adversely affecting you or your baby. Femé Pad® can be a better treatment than taking a painkiller because its effects are immediate. There is no waiting for the effects to work through to the site of the pain and you don't have to build up a level of foreign substances. The Femé Pad® treatment is supported by clinical evidence and is a safe, effective, and natural alternative to other forms of pain relief.
Now you can manage your own pain relief discreetly and without embarrassment. Worn just like a panty liner, no one need know that you are experiencing any discomfort, and you will be able to quickly get back to being YOU, and feeling like a woman again.
Doctors, and mothers themselves, have been aware of the problem of Post Natal Perineal Trauma for as long as people have been giving birth. It continues to be one of those problems that are very difficult to treat directly, even with modern medical methods.
So called 'invasive' treatments, conventional drugs, pain killers and anesthetics, can help the mother but may have a detrimental effect on new babies, via their mothers milk. It can be inadvisable, even for women who don't breastfeed, to over use pain killers as they can make them feel drowsy and lethargic, which can affect the care of their baby.
In hospitals Midwives recommend treatments such as warm baths and the use of Witch Hazel to clean, and soothe the affected area. They advise new mothers to continue these treatments at home. Many also recommend ice packs to numb the pain and help reduce the swelling and bruising, even these are only available in hospital. For haemorrhoids some institutions provide an inflatable cushion.
With modern healthcare, and changing attitudes towards childbirth, new mothers are spending less and less time in hospital after giving birth. There is a need, therefore, for a simple, effective and non-invasive treatment that women can use at home to relieve this pernicious condition.
The treatment protocol and the relief Femé Pad® brings has been tested in hospitals in the UK and in clinical trials by women in their own homes. Recommended by Midwives and by new mothers Femé Pad® is a modern way to treat an age old problem.
