hey dear. i went thru something like that. turns out my stitches caught an infection hence it was really painful. do go see a dr. i was prescribed oral antibiotics and cream to apply and all was good after tt.

It took me a 2 to 4 months to fully recover from the stitches cause mine was done by a trainee doctor😓

I will always inform the nurses and senior doctor first righ when i go in to the delivery suite to not have a trainee doctor for me.

Mine took about a month cause I had an episiotomy. Make sure to keep area clean and dry.

2 weeks. Always make sure to dry clean that area to avoid having infection.
