Problems we treat
- Perineal tears that healed poorly, or painful scars
- Anal sphincter tears (third and fourth degree tears)
- Leaking urine, wind or stool after delivery
- A loose or wide vaginal opening, or a vaginal bulge
- Pain or discomfort during sex after childbirth
- Fistula, causing constant leakage of urine or stool
Treatment options
First steps: pelvic floor exercises with a physiotherapist, treatment of scar pain, and simple measures for bladder and bowel control.
Repair, when needed: surgical repair of the perineum and anal sphincter, repair of the vaginal walls, and fistula repair.
Your visit includes a private examination and, where helpful, a 3D/4D pelvic floor ultrasound to see any muscle damage clearly.
Common questions
Is it too late to get help years after giving birth?
No. Many birth injuries can be treated long after delivery.
Can I have more children after repair?
Yes in most cases. Dr Achila will advise on timing and the safest way to deliver next time.
I leak stool or wind since my delivery. Is that treatable?
Yes. It may be from a sphincter tear, which can be assessed and treated. Please don’t wait.
