Chronic perineural pain is an often encountered problem that is difficult to evaluate and sacral perineural cyst may be the etiology of chronic perineal pain in many instances.

NURSING STANDARD PERINEAL WOUNDS commonly occur in women during labour (Albers et al 2005). A cross-sectional survey of 101 randomly selected NHS trusts in the UK in the mid-1990s revealed that 83% of low risk primigravidae experienced some form of perineal trauma (Williams et al 1998). Many women also experience labial tears, grazes or vulval varicosities which are painful (Steen 2007). Perine...
