Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Stitches on vagina (Epsiotomy sutures) will take 4-6 weeks time to heal. She may have pain for 2-3 weeks

I suggest her to maintain hygiene to avoid infections. Avoid physical stress.
She should clean the area with warm water.


If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
