Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Episiotomy healing will be evaluated before the three irradiations and 7 to 10 days after after discharge, with a numerical scale that quantifies the redness, edema ,ecchymosis, discharge and approximation of wound edges (Scale REEDA- Redness Edema Echymosis Discharge Aproximation). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The intensity of pain will be evaluated by numerical scale from 0 to 10, with 0 is equal to no pain and 10 is the maximum pain. The evaluation will be done before and 30 minutes after irradiations. | — |
