A member asked:
How long will it take to recovery from an episiotomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depending on the type and severity of the episiotomy, healing time will be different for everyone. On average, the vagina should be completely healed following childbirth after 6 weeks. The process may take longer if there is infection or separation of the stitches.
