Does a natural birth always require an episiotomy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Yes, there is no need to use anesthesia for the suture after an episiotomy, because compared to the pain during childbirth, you will not feel any pain at all. Therefore, many women are unaware that they have been stitched after delivery. However, after a while, there may be some pain at the incision and suture sites, but it will definitely be tolerable. No need to worry.
