How Can A Perineal Tear After Childbirth Be Treated?

I just delivered my son almost two weeks ago, I tear and at the time my doctor said it was very little and that I don't need stitches. I trusted my doctor and didn't even crossed my mind at the time. Now that the bleeding stop, I accidently felt the tear when I was wiping and it is almost to my anus. I am really stress and depress about it. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom, I know it's not good to hold it in but I'm too scared of bacteria getting inside my vigina. I'm taking my frustrations out on my families, I'm crying at times and I'm not sure what to do.

Hi,

An episiotomy wound (a wound made at the time of vaginal delivery) will heal by itself and nothing much to worry about it.

If there are any signs of infection, you can start on antibiotics and otherwise, no definite treatment is needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
