A member asked:

How long after an episiotomy can one become sexually active again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Post-partum sex ?: As any surgical repair, an episiotomy will take from 4-6 weeks to heal sufficiently to withstand vaginal intercourse. Even at that point, pain from the scar tissue may still occur.
