Birth Injury follow-up

Many people who undergo childbirth experience some injury to their vagina, vulva, or perineum – these can cause persisting symptoms and some patients can benefit from treatment.

Following childbirth – if you experience leakage / incontinence of urine or faeces, difficulty having sex, or any other symptom that you feel is related – we recommend booking to see one of our GP’s for further assessment and discussion of treatment options.

From 1 October 2022, ACC will also provide insurance cover for many of these as injuries – these claims can be placed by your GP when you are seen.
