Q. Can you tell me the reason for deficient perineum?
Hello doctor,
I am 28 and sexually active. But, I do not have any baby yet. I had noticed a long time back that I do not have any gap between my vagina and anus. I got to know that as deficient perineum, but I could not find out more on the internet. Can you tell me why I do not have it and its consequences?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Have you consulted any gynecologist or surgeon? It may be a normal variation. Since pictures are not available, it is difficult to comment. You better consult a gynecologist for a physical evaluation.
Thank you doctor,
I have not consulted anyone. I have done regular pap smear, but my gynecologist did not mention anything other than saying my cervix is posterior. I do not have any other problem, except excessive vaginal discharge and painful period. I saw a video where episiotomy was given after delivery and so I got concerned as I do not have that space.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- You are absolutely normal and there is enough gap (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- You need not worry at all. You can have normal sexual life and delivery.
- When you clean, run your fingers from vagina downwards and not reverse.
- Nowadays, delivery cannot be guaranteed vaginally. So, not to worry.
