What should I do if I occasionally itch in the perineum two months after an episiotomy?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had a natural delivery, and the doctor performed an episiotomy at the time. Afterward, I have been doing a good job of hygiene every day, but now, two months later, the perineum occasionally itches. How should I handle this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in such a case, it may be caused by inflammation. You should get checked to see how you are recovering and whether there is still inflammation.
If there is inflammation, it needs to be treated promptly. At the same time, you should get plenty of rest and pay attention to your diet. Avoid eating too many irritating foods, as allergies can also cause itching.
