Summary
This study tested whether combining pelvic floor training with perineal massage could lower the chance of needing an episiotomy—a surgical cut made during delivery. Over 500 pregnant women took part, and the approach reduced the episiotomy rate to just 5.7%, far below the 10% target recommended by the World Health Organization. The goal was to make childbirth safer and reduce recovery problems.
