    ObjectivesTo define the incidence of anorectal diseases in primigravida women as well as in the first month after delivery and the factors affecting the development of anorectal diseases.MethodsThe sample size was determined as 328 primigravida women. Research data were collected from pregnant women who applied to Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic, Kars Harakani State Hospital Gynecology and General Surgery Polyclinic, Kafkas University, Kars, Turkey, between November 2020 and August 2021.The pregnant women were examined and surveyed 4 times; in the second and third trimesters, on the day after delivery, and in the first month after delivery. Chi-square test was used in the analysis of the data determined by counting. Variables which were statistically significant (p<0.05) in the Chi-square test were included in the backward logistic regression analysis.ResultsPerianal disease was observed in 103 (38.6%) of the pregnant women. The incidence of perianal disease was found to be 4.917 times (confidence interval [CI]: [2.134-11.327]) higher in those with perianal disease compared with those without, 2.936 times (CI:[1.584-5.439]) higher in those who did not consume fiber-rich foods compared with those who did, 9.512 times (CI: [4.583-19.742]) higher in those with constipation compared with those without, and 23.721 times (CI: [5.363-104.915]) higher in those whose pushing stage duration was above average compared with that in those whose pushing stage duration was below average.ConclusionIn primigravida pregnants, the risk of perianal disease increases in those who have perianal disease before pregnancy, those who do not consume fibrous food, those who have constipation, and those who have a long pushing period.Copyright: © Saudi Medical Journal.
