episiotomy still bleeds

Hi! Anyone knows is it normal for episiotomy stitches to still bleed after 2 weeks of normal delivery?? I don feel alot of pain but it will sudden bleed and goes off and come back againz . How long does it take to recover totally and how long it takes to stop bleeding?

It will stop bleeding after few days to recover in normal cases. For ur case, it may be bleeding from uterus after delivery to clear away those residual blood from pregnancy. If not and u r sure this bleeding is due to episiotomy stitches, then u need to see ur gynae immediately for checkup.
