Patient's question:
Patient Age: 26Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: During childbirth, I had an episiotomy. It has been more than twenty days since then, but I still have pain in the perineum. Additionally, there is a small lump at the end of the sutured wound, which appeared recently. What could be the reason for this? How long will it take to recover? Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the lump doesn't hurt, there's no need to worry. Generally, minor wounds will stop hurting within 3 to 4 days. Moreover, the area around the vagina has a rich blood supply. As long as there's no bacterial infection, the wound can heal in about a week. If you experience any discomfort, you should seek medical attention promptly.
