Persistent genito-pelvic pain 2 months after vaginal birth: a nationwide population-based analysis from the 2021 French National Perinatal Survey

The authors aimed to estimate the prevalence and identify risk factors for persistent genito-pelvic pain two months after vaginal birth using data from the 2021 French National Perinatal Survey. They found that 12.8% of women experienced such pain, with higher prevalence associated with the severity of perineal tears and various maternal factors, including psychological status and satisfaction with pain management. The study highlights the need for further research on preventive measures and improving maternal experiences during childbirth to mitigate persistent pain.
