FAQs

What is perineal massage? Perineal massage involves gently stretching and massaging the perineum, the area between the vaginal opening and the anus to increase its elasticity. This practice aims to prepare the perineal tissues for childbirth, potentially reducing the risk of tearing and the need for an episiotomy during vaginal delivery.

When should I start using it in my pregnancy? Begin anytime after 34 weeks.

How often should I use it? Aim to massage 2-3 times a week, for about 3-4 minutes.

Does perineal massage hurt? You may experience a slight burning or stretching sensation during the massage, especially initially. This discomfort should decrease over time as the tissues become more elastic. The sensation should not be painful; if you experience significant pain, stop the massage and consult your healthcare provider.

Can my partner assist with perineal massage? Yes, if you feel comfortable, your partner can assist with the massage. They should follow the same hygiene and technique guidelines, using clean hands and applying gentle pressure to avoid discomfort.
