Question 1

What Is an Episiotomy Revision?

Accepted Answer

An episiotomy is an incision made in the perineum (the area between the vagina and rectum) during a vaginal delivery to increase the vaginal opening and allow the baby's head to pass more easily. While this procedure can be necessary in certain cases, recovery can be uncomfortable, and the incision does not always heal perfectly.

If an episiotomy heals poorly, it can cause complications such as the formation of painful granulation tissue, pelvic floor dysfunction, fistula (a hole between the vagina and rectum), or knots of painful scar tissue. An Episiotomy Revision is a highly effective surgical solution designed to remove this abnormal scar tissue, repair the area, and resolve lasting discomfort so you can restore your postpartum comfort and improve your quality of life.

Question 3

Who Is a Good Candidate for Episiotomy Revision?

Accepted Answer

If you've had an episiotomy that didn't heal well or is causing lasting pelvic pain, you may be a great candidate for episiotomy revision surgery. It is never too late to undergo an episiotomy revision—even if it has been years since your delivery! Ideal candidates include women who:
 • Are experiencing pelvic floor pain or discomfort that has not improved over time
 • Wish to restore the ability to engage in sexual intercourse without pain
 • Are in good general health and do not smoke
 • Understand the surgical risks and can take adequate time off for recovery

Question 4

How Is Episiotomy Revision Performed?

Accepted Answer

Episiotomy revision is a precise surgical procedure customized to your specific healing complications. The process typically involves:
 • Anesthesia: General or local anesthesia will be administered for your absolute comfort.
 • Incision and Tissue Removal: The jagged or painful scar tissue from the original episiotomy is meticulously removed.
 • Restoration of Function: The area is carefully re-sutured to allow for smooth, optimal healing, restoring the normal vaginal opening and pelvic floor functionality.

Question 5

What Is the Recovery Process for Episiotomy Revision?

Accepted Answer

Recovery after an episiotomy revision is often very similar to recovering from the original procedure, though it may be shorter depending on the extent of the scar tissue removed. During your recovery, you will need to follow specific post-operative care instructions, including:
 • Avoiding strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and intense exercise for several weeks
 • Using cold compresses or a donut cushion to relieve pressure on the surgical site
 • Attending follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress
 • Refraining from sexual intercourse and tampon use for 6 to 8 weeks
You will likely experience some soreness and tenderness in the first few days, but this is easily managed with prescription medications or over-the-counter pain relief.

Question 6

When Will I See Results After Episiotomy Revision?

Accepted Answer

Relief from the pulling or pinching of old scar tissue is often noticed very quickly! The final results from your episiotomy revision will become fully evident within a few weeks as the post-surgical swelling and tenderness decrease. Most women report a massive, life-changing improvement in pelvic pain and sexual health within a few short months.

Question 7

Can I combine an Episiotomy Revision with other Sexual Wellness procedures?

Absolutely. Because difficult childbirths often affect multiple areas of the pelvic region, Dr. Claudia Kim frequently combines episiotomy revisions with other intimate procedures.
