How long does it take for the wound to stop hurting after a natural birth stitch?

During the process of natural childbirth, women may experience tearing and pulling pain in the vagina, so many women will experience vaginal relaxation after giving birth. Some women also need stitches because they had an episiotomy during natural childbirth. Women should also pay attention to the care of the wound after stitches during a natural birth. The specific recovery time varies from person to person, and there will still be pain symptoms during the recovery period. So how long will it take for the wound to stop hurting after a woman has stitches during a natural birth?

1. The sutures on the perineal wound after normal delivery are all absorbable sutures. Generally, the pain symptoms will be significantly relieved about 24 hours after delivery. However, it takes 2 to 3 months for the thread ends to be completely absorbed by the body, so during this period you may experience local discomfort at the wound, or some women may see thread ends leaking near the wound, which is normal. In addition, mothers should also pay attention to getting out of bed and doing moderate exercise to enhance local blood circulation, which is beneficial to promoting wound healing. Pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene, and eat less spicy and irritating foods.

2. After a normal birth, a woman will have her perineum torn and stitches. The pain will usually disappear gradually about half a month after delivery. After a normal birth, women should take care of their genitals, keep them dry, wear loose underwear, clean the torn wounds at the perineum, avoid infection due to the leakage of lochia, and pay attention to local hygiene. At the same time, eat more vegetables and fruits to promote water circulation in the body and gastrointestinal motility. Postpartum care for women is very important. The wound will be relieved to a certain extent half a month after delivery. If the pain is still unbearable at this time, you need to communicate with medical staff in time to check whether there is any wound infection.

3. In fact, there is no relatively specific time for how long it will take for a pregnant woman to not feel pain after stitches after a normal delivery. The healing of the wound is related to the depth and length of the wound, personal physique, dietary nutrition status, etc. The duration of pain is also related to each person's tolerance to pain, so the specific time varies from person to person. Under normal circumstances, the wounds from stitches during normal delivery will heal completely in about half a month, and it usually takes about twenty days for the pain to disappear. After suture during normal delivery, you also need to pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva, keep it clean and dry, and avoid vulva infection.
