Does episiotomy stitches hurt?

Perhaps only women who have experienced natural childbirth know that current medical technology allows doctors to perform episiotomy on women with narrow vaginas in order to avoid tearing of the female vulva. Moreover, women are more afraid of pain, so women who choose natural childbirth will also consider the pain that episiotomy will bring to their bodies. And after giving birth, the episiotomy wound needs to be sutured. So does it hurt when the episiotomy is sutured?

It hurt so much when my cervix was dilated, but I really didn't feel any pain when I was giving birth. When the doctor said she needed an episiotomy, I said go ahead and do it. I could feel her giving me anesthesia, and I could also feel the scissors cutting. After the placenta came out, they started to sew. Oh my god, that feeling was so painful. Every time the needle went in and the thread was pulled, it was like sewing clothes, although you couldn't see it. I stayed in the hospital for 3 days. I didn't dare sit because it was so painful. I didn't even dare to push hard when I went to poop because I was afraid the stitches would break, even though they didn't need to be removed.

They all get anesthesia before episiotomy. They only do episiotomy after the anesthesia is done. They don't get anesthesia anymore afterwards.

When stitching, local anesthesia is usually required because it is necessary to continuously penetrate the skin tissue at the wound site, otherwise the pain will be severe. The specific usage and dosage can be scientifically mastered according to your physical condition under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, pay attention to the hygiene of sutures to avoid wound contamination. Take good care of yourself after the operation and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods.

This is not absolute. You can consult the doctor. Usually, the doctor will give you some anesthesia. Otherwise, it will be too painful to bear.

Mothers who have given birth naturally know how uncomfortable it is to take analgesia. Anesthesia is given before episiotomy, but after the analgesia, the pain of the incision is actually nothing. When I was getting stitches after giving birth, I slowly woke up from the anesthetic given for the episiotomy. The stitches were as uncomfortable as the process of waiting for the cervix to fully dilate and the baby to come out. Looking back now, I really think I was so brave.

It seems that they say that there is no need for injections. There is no pain right after giving birth because the anesthetic has an effect. So no need to call again.

Why don't you use anesthesia when you have an episiotomy during a normal delivery?

When stitching, local anesthesia is usually required because it is necessary to continuously penetrate the skin tissue at the wound site, otherwise the pain will be severe. But many times, the doctor has already injected local anesthetic before the episiotomy, so there is no need to inject additional anesthetic when stitching.
