Summary

A randomized controlled trial was undertaken at Rajavithi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand, encompassing 106 primigravidae within the period of December 2023 to June 2024. The intervention group underwent antepartum perineal massage, starting at the 34th - 35th week of gestation and extending until delivery, while the control group did not receive such intervention. The primary outcome evaluated was the incidence of anal incontinence at the 3-month postpartum. Secondary outcomes included the duration of each labor stage, perineal tears and their degrees, episiotomy occurrences, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes, postpartum pain within 24 hours, dyspareunia, and urinary incontinence at the 3-month postpartum.
