Puerperium is defined as the period of six weeks after child birth during which the mother's reproductive organs return to their original non-pregnant condition. Perianal problems including Constipation, Hemorrhoid and Fissure are among the most common complications among women during puerperium, observed in about 30 to 50 percent of women. Considering this great prevalence and the paucity of similar research in Ethiopia, this study was done to assess the prevalence of perianal problems during puerperium and the risk factors associated with them.
