Hi,
Thanks for the query.

According to your history I am thinking that you are talking about the episiotomy wound.
Usually the wound will heal with one to two weeks.
If you are still having the pain better to consult gynecologist once and get examined to findout the possible cause for the problem.
You can take local antibiotic and anti-inflammatory cream with her advice.
Meanwhile you can take sitz bath by adding betadine solution in the luke warm water. You can sit by keeping your legs closer to decrease pain.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
