IntroductionEpisiotomy may be followed by several maternal complications, such as postpartum infection, pain, discomfort, and prolonged wound healing. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Achillea vermicularis on wound healing after episiotomy. MethodsWe performed a randomised clinical trial consisting of 100 participants aged on average 23.37 (±4.96) years, who underwent an episiotomy during normal vaginal delivery from June to December 2018. The mothers were randomly allocated to the treatment or control group. Those in the treatment group used the A. vermicularis 3% ointment, while those in the control group received routine treatment consisting of sitz baths with betadine solution. The primary outcome was wound healing, which was assessed using the redness, edema, ecchymosis, discharge, and approximation (REEDA) scale on baseline and days 7 and 10 after the intervention. ResultsThe episiotomy wound parameters did not differ significantly between groups on day 7, but there was a significant difference in redness (P = 0.02), discharge (P = 0.03), approximation of wound edges (P = 0.03), and wound healing (P < 0.001) between the two groups on day 10. DiscussionIt may be concluded that A. vermicularis ointment has a positive effect on wound healing after episiotomy on day 10 postpartum.
