How long did your episiotomy take to heal

[impatienttobemummy]

I'm 3 weeks pp, had an infection in thr wound at day 5 so the skin layer of stitches fell out without the wound healing so now they have said that it needs to heal itself by 'secondary intention'
It's still one and seriously getting me Down. The dr finished by saying 'don't worry if it isn't healed in 3 months or there is a hole we can take you back to theatre and do it again' great thanks glad I know that I won't worry then!
Please help me to put this in perspective

It will be fragile Artyone be gentle on yourself how are you feeling now? I'm still tender and sore. Far too scared to DTD that's a long way off! I'm now onto obsessing as to whether I have a prolapse. Psychologically I'm finding this so hard to move on from even though its now healed on the outside. Anyone else felt like this?
Good lunch Artyone x

Hi i am two weeks pp after having my ds (darling son) had an infected episiomty tear 7 days pp when to my gp got antibiotics the wound is still open how long will it take to heal once the stiches have dissolved which i think mine have dissolved but the wound is still open but look better then it did

Mine took a good four -five weeks to heal so I could sit normally. Six weeks for all bruising to be gone. It felt like forever. I didn't have an infection nor did my stitches break down. I 'only' had extensive bruising and a small haematoma next to it.
