Hello mums and doc.Am new here. It's been 5 weeks since my delivery and my episiotomy isn't healed. I feel serious pain especially when urinatin

Dr Muyideen Oladotun · Answer

Hello sweet mothers. Una try. These are stories men cannot understand. Episiotomy is hard and painful but sometimes necessary, even though some health practitioners are too hasty in giving it. The way it was repaired determines how quickly it will heal. Try the sitz bath in warm salty water. Visit your health center for inspection to see if there is wound breakdown or anything. Take care.

Rosemary · Answer

See your doctor, just to make sure no issues, after that, continue sitting with salt water, dettol in warm water. My episiotomy lasted six months but I never stopped sitting on seasbirth until it healed. Pls don't make love until it heals.

Use hot water,put black puash and blue stone,let the vapour of the hate gets into your system. That's what I used,do that for one or two months, you will see the difference. Please put the hot water in a strong plane o.and also sit on kitchen stool and close your legs.

Okike Elizabeth · Answer

My episiotomy was up to two months before it healed. Put water that is not hot or cold in a basin, add little salt and dettol, sit on it for as long as you can. It will go with time.
