A member asked:

How much time should perineum be super swollen and itchy after birth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

4 to 6 weeks: The post partum period is 4 to 6 weeks. If you think your swollen perineum is unusually itchy and swollen, go see your OB MD who did the OB care and delivery to rule out an infection.
