Episiotomy is a cut given in the perineum when a woman has crowned during labor to make baby come out easily and also to prevent possible tears or complications. It’s not a routine. Should only be done when it’s very necessary with a woman’s concern.

Healing will depend on the degree of tear and also the care given to the wound

With no infection or complications, it should heal fast. Some can heal within two weeks. Others can take a month to six weeks

If you realise it’s gapping, having offensive discharges, Stiches coming out, bleeding and too painful, you should report back for further examination

Remember the Stiches will be absorbed and should not ne coming out. Most episiotomies use the absorbable Stiches unless your doctor stated other wise

Also take your nutrition, Selfcare and Exercise serious to help heal faster.

Discuss your concerns with your doctor or midwife
