Asking for Self, Female, 27 years old, Karachi
I've just had a normal delivery on 20th April with episiotomy. It's almost more than 2 weeks and I still feel pain/ discomfort while sitting . I've also noticed some redness around the perineal stitches and are tender to touch. Are these signs of infection? I'm taking sitz bath . Should I be applying something on it or anything to make it better? My doctor is not in town I need to know if they're getting infected.
if area is red and hot might b ....
