For me the pain became bearable after 1 week and after 2 weeks very little pain left. When you see doctor to remove dressing, they would show you how to take care of the wound (there's a cream and a wash to apply). After the dressing is taken off it's OK to leave it open even when bathing.

- don’t carry heavy things. No squats. Get up from bed slowly. - there will be a waterproof plaster over the wound. You can continue to bathe as per usual. - the stitches will dissolve by itself. Usually will go back to gynae for check up on the stitches.

The pain is for 40 days, still the wound gets recover. Doctor give ointments
