Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old. The day of delivery is approaching, and she is very nervous. She asks the doctor how long it takes for the perineal wound to heal after a normal delivery with an episiotomy.Doctor's answer:
It can be recovered in half a month, and you must take good care of it every day. Postoperative care: After delivery, the vulva should always be kept clean to avoid infection. Change sanitary pads frequently. If the wound is soaked in a completely wet sanitary pad, the wound is prone to re-infection and interferes with the healing process. Before the episiotomy wound is stitched, it should be washed twice a day, and once after defecation, to prevent excrement from polluting the wound.
