Suggest Remedy To Relieve Pain Due To Episiotomy Scar
I am 57, I have an incredibly painful episiotomy scar from the birth of my first child.(Possibly made worse by the birth of 2 more) Is there any non-surgical way to treat this condition. I am a newlywed and it is uncomfortable to have sex.I weigh 160 lbs. I am 5'7" and have no medical problems.

Hi
This is pain due to destruction of nerve endings during the episiotomy
Neuralgic pain, usually no specific treatment
Application of local anaesthetic creams or gels can help or injection of local anaesthetic in that area can provide you temporary relief
Take care
