Respondents underwent a pre-test on day 1 and a post-test on 7 days postpartum. Data were collected using questionnaires and observation sheets using the REEDA score. Data analysis used Chi-Square test. The results showed that the mean of REEDA score pretest was 11.54 and posttest was 4.32.  The result showed that there was a difference in REEDA scores before and after Kegel exercises (p=0.016). There was a difference in the perineal wound healing before and after Kegel exercises were given (p=0.007).
