Os objetivos foram verificar a dispareunia, a dor perineal e as alterações na cicatrização perineal em mulheres submetidas à episiotomia. Estudo longitudinal que deu continuidade ao ensaio clínico que avaliou a eficácia do laser em baixa intensidade na redução da dor perineal nessas mulheres. Foi conduzido no Amparo Maternal, cidade de São Paulo. Participaram 85 e 79 mulheres que foram entrevistadas aos dois meses (janeiro a maio de 2010) e seis meses após o parto (junho a setembro de 2010), respectivamente. Verificou-se dor perineal em 16,5% e 5,1% das mulheres e de dispareunia em 69,7% e 29,2% delas, dois e seis meses após o parto, respectivamente. Aos seis meses, quase metade das participantes referiu dor perineal e alguma alteração na cicatrização: alterações na sensibilidade e na coloração da pele na região perineal e deiscência. Concluiu-se que dor perineal e a dispareunia são morbidades frequentes no pós-parto.
