Episiotomy
Show your support
Same happened to me with my first child, it took mine about 4 months to heal properly. The only thing that helped me was cleaning daily more than once (showering) and laying with air to the wound. Spritz for bits I found soothing not sure if it helped with the healing !
@Fiona i just booked an appointment will see the GP tomorrow again, cause the wound is bleeding today 😞 i will ask her about that as well thank you 💗
I’m sorry, that sounds sore, hope the GP was able to help. I had an episiotomy with my first and remember it being sore but if it helps, a year or so later I didn’t even know it was there. Hope it feels better soon xx
You need to ask to be referred to a consultant gynaecologist rather than GP as GP’s don’t have expertise to deal with this. If they try giving you an appointment in months time then go to A&E or day assessment unit at your hospital. Hope it gets better for you.
Sorry, that sounds really painful. Hopefully someone else can help but I had a c section and was prescribed fucidic acid/fucidin to help with redness on the incision, which is an anti bacterial cream. Might be worth asking your GP/pharmacist about? Hope you’re able to get something to help and it feels better soon.
