B
The pain with vaginal hematoma is severe and constant. Cold application to the labia and perineum reduces pain by numbing the area, limiting bruising and edema for first 12 hours. An episiotomy is performed as the fetal head distends the perineum. The pain associated with vaginal hematoma is severe.
