Brief Answer:
Episiotomy gape
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
From your description, it seems that your stitches have gaped.
It can be due to improper hygiene, repeated squatting, or improper healing.
Hot water bath and smoke bath do not cause such symptoms.
I will suggest you to consult your treating OBGYN specialist to properly examine the gape site, give appropriate treatment and antibiotics.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
