Yes my Gynae told me to do cos said my tear was bad. I was told to do three times a day for 30mins each :( just mix salt with warm water. Initially I did not do strictly per instructed and my 1st postnatal checkup was told that my wound didn’t heal as expected and Gynae said to continue another 4 weeks. I think just follow what the Gynae told u as it’s beneficial to you eventually. All the best as I know sling sitz bath is no fun 🤣🤣

If you go through C Section no need sitz bath. Only for vaginal delivery and if there's stitches then you do sitz bath. Recommended to do twice a day with epsom salt and warm water. Each time for 15 to 20 mins. Result varies on individual for healing time frame.
