It is estimated that perineal tears occur in as many as 57% of women who are in normal labor. Pain associated with perineal sutures is experienced by ninety percent of mothers in Indonesia due to perineal tears. When a mother experiences pain from a perineal suture when walking (33%), sitting (39%), or sleeping (45%), it interferes with her ability to move around, which might lead to difficulties being experienced. In accordance with the findings of Widayani's research, the discomfort that postpartum women experience in the form of perineal suture pain can be alleviated by the utilization of non-pharmacological methods, one of which is the provision of aromatherapy. This quasi-experimental study utilized a design consisting of a pre-test and a post-test for a single group. A total of fifteen respondents were chosen through the process of purposive sampling to make up the specimen. The study instrument was utilized with the use of a perineal pain score observation sheet. The Mann-Whitney test and the Paired Samples T-Test were utilized in the data analysis. There is a significant difference in the level of discomfort experienced by postpartum women who have undergone perineal suture procedures before and after receiving lavender aromatherapy (p = 0.011). It has been demonstrated that aromatherapy with lavender can alleviate the severity of discomfort associated with perineal sutures in women who have recently given birth. Health professionals, particularly midwives, are anticipated to implement complementary midwifery care by administering lavender aromatherapy as a non-pharmacological approach to alleviate the severity of pain associated with perineal sutures
