What is the reason for the bumps and pain at the episiotomy incision?

Patient's question:

When I gave birth to my baby, I had a natural birth, but the baby was quite large, so I had an episiotomy. However, now there's a lump at the episiotomy site, and it's very painful. The episiotomy wound has a lump with a stinging pain? What kind of help is needed: lump with stinging pain at the episiotomy wound?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it is important to determine how long it has been since giving birth. This is because, during a episiotomy, although the wound may not be large, it may still cause pain to recur. If there is currently a lump, it may also be due to local reinfection or inflammation. It is necessary to promptly visit the hospital for a thorough examination. Daily, it is essential to pay attention to cleaning the perineal area to avoid infection and maintain a cheerful mood.
