Is sitz bath helpful to heal a broken episiotomy stitch in which the wound is outside? Or it just worsens the condition? I had normal delivery 50 days ago. The wound in the broken stitch area is not yet healed properly. Mothers and gynaecologists please suggest me whether it is helpful or not. Iam suffering a lot due to this condition. Not even able to nurse or care my baby properly.
