If the fetus is relatively large or in an unfavorable position, and there is a certain degree of difficulty during a natural birth, an episiotomy may be performed. This helps facilitate the delivery of the baby and is a common practice. It provides significant assistance during labor. If you undergo this procedure, it is advisable to wear loose underwear and follow up with anti-inflammatory treatment. Typically, this does not require stitches to be removed. If stitches are used, they can be removed after about a week. This is not a major issue. Wishing you good health.
