Olori Oduneye · Answer

You can seat in the warm water,a handful of salt and like half cap of dettol for like 10-15mins. Please ensure the water is more lukewarm than hot o. That was what the doctor instructed me to do and my stitch is fully healed now. Also rinse your vagina and gently pat dry when you use the toilet and change your pad as often as possible. Cos moisture won't let it heal fast. Once in a while you can go naked and let air blow directly on your vagina

I had episiotomy wen I put to bed on 1st of July. I was warned by my Doctor never to try sitting on hot water, cos if the sucture breaks down, they will resucture again and that is more painful.. All I was asked to do is to be putting savlon in warm water while I use comfit pad or small hand towel to pat and wash it anytime I go to toilet and it worked.. Now am okay.. Pple will advise u to sit on hot water, pls don't am begging u..
