What Is Episiotomy Scar Pain?
An episiotomy is a small cut made during delivery to help the baby out. Sometimes the scar heals tight, raised or tender, and the discomfort can last for months.
Because it affects daily comfort and intimacy, treatment is worthwhile. Reassuringly, gentle care can help.
Why Does It Happen?
- Tight or thick healing of the scar
- Trapped nerve endings in the scar
- Uneven or raised scar tissue
- Pulling or tension during movement
Treatment Options
Care ranges from gentle, non-surgical therapy to scar revision surgery. The choice depends on the scar.
- Genital scar revision
- Perineoplasty for the perineal area
- Non-surgical scar care
What to Expect
First, a private consultation assesses the scar. Then, a gentle plan is suggested, often easing the pain noticeably. Throughout, your comfort and privacy come first.
