What Do I Do If My Episiotomy Scar Looks Torn? |
I already have an choice scheduled but my episiotomy scar used to look a lot longer. My discharge has increased a lot. I had my baby 3 weeks ago and the excreting was yellow and slow and suddenly turned bright red and a lot. I am wondering if it is possible that it tore or the stitches came out too in time and it hadn't healed. If so, has that happened to anyone? What did the doctor do?
| Answer: My stitches did chance upon out but the doc didn't do anything. Just keep the area clean and it should heal up just fine. I was told to take sitz baths, which merely means to sit in a couple of inches of warm water so that the area can be cleansed. They say not to sit in sea water any deeper because your cervix is still kind of loose and you want to prevent any type of infections in your uterus. About the bleeding-I bled for 3-4 months after I gave childbirth. All of the doctors told me it was normal. You only want to worry if there is a really bad smell. Avail Luck! |
