Is It Normal To Bleed At The Episiotomy During The Intercourse?
Hi, it is close to 1 year since I had my delivery. However, we did not have much intercourse during this time. With the very few times of intercourse that we did have, I noticed that I had slight bleeding at my episiotomy. Is this normal? Intercourse was also painful.

Hello,
It is not expected to bleed from the episiotomy site and experience pain almost a year after episiotomy.
Presence of underlying infection can cause such symptoms. So please follow up with your ObGyn to undergo pelvic examination to rule out any infection at the site.
Hope this answers your query
