Understanding Perineal Recovery
Perineal tears and episiotomies are incredibly common—affecting up to 90% of first-time mothers. While your body is designed to heal, the right products can make a significant difference in your comfort and recovery time.
What to Expect
- First 24-48 hours: Swelling, soreness, and discomfort when sitting or walking
- Week 1-2: Gradual reduction in pain, stitches beginning to dissolve
- Week 3-6: Continued healing, most discomfort should subside
- 6+ weeks: Most tears fully healed, though some sensitivity may remain
