Perineal wounds are often causes pain and discomfort in patients, thereby reducing mobilization and inhibiting the wound healing process. Cold compresses have a local analgesic effect, reducing nerve sensitivity and lowering the pain threshold and reducing swelling.

From the search results, 3 articles were obtained that met the criteria. Applying cold compresses during the postpartum period as a non-pharmacological intervention can be an alternative to reduce pain in perineal wounds.
