Perineal trauma is a major problem affecting millions of women around the world each year.The degree of perineal pain and discomfort associated with  perineal trauma is often underestimated. Pain often interferes with daily activites such as walking , sitting and passing urine and also negatively impacts on motherhood experiences. Proper care of episiotomy wound which is already associated with a lot of pain is very important  as the parineal area is highly contaminated with lochia, faeces and urine.

The improper care of wound  leads to several complications like hemorrhage ,  incontinence of urine and flatus, rectovaginal fistula, wound separation, wound site infection, perineal hematoma ,excessive fibrosis etc. Healing by fibrosis may cause dyspareunia and rigid perineum. These complications leads to both physical and psychological problems and prevents the mothers from enjoying their motherhood.

While several therapies for wound healing like some solutions and antibiotics are available but these are only moderately effective. Even there are many formulations that have failed to achieve the satisfied action and can cause side effects also.Thus there is a need for more effective therapies and formulations for healing wounds.
