Need expert advice on episiotomy wound
I delivered baby 2months back and got 2nd degree stitches which could not heal in given time because stitches got dissolved earlier than expected. And I did not opt for restitching due to lack of support as I might need bed rest after restitching. And parents cannot support in lockdown. So, i decided to heal the stitches naturally for 1more month. Now,if i see the wound only 1 stitch is still open rest wound is healed completely. I would like to get your opinion on this whether i should opt for restitching as doctor recommended or put copper sulphate on the small wound (suggested by doctor) or let it heal naturally by applying Megaheal (recommended by another gynaec). I just need second opinion on this. Also, there is some vaginal discharge these days. Is this normal?
