mine took about 14 days.. previously about 4th or 5th day I realised that it is getting more painful, as I had a few hard cough and was afraid that the stitches came apart. I went to a&e at kkh to check, lucky it didn't came off, doctor gave me antibiotics cream to apply. felt better one day after applying and less swollen

I recovered within 1 week. But some of my friends about 2 weeks. Depends on individual actually. If the painkiller doesn’t help you might wanna let your gynae know to prescribe you a stronger ones! Take care mama! You’ll be fine soon!
