Patient's question:
11 days after a normal delivery, the episiotomy area split open. Today, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it was due to suture reaction and suture allergy. They said it will be fine after the stitches are removed. Is this possible? What should I do!Doctor's answer:
The episiotomy site is generally treated with absorbable sutures, which are often formed by the first or second stitch being absorbable but can naturally fall off on their own. If the episiotomy site opens, it is not necessary to consider the risk of allergic reaction to absorbable sutures, but there may be a risk of infection.Advice: Do not worry too much and maintain a positive mood. Keep the external genital area dry at all times and pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
