Episiotomy, a common obstetric procedure, is performed to widen the vaginal opening during childbirth by making an incision in the perineum. While it aims to facilitate delivery and prevent severe perineal tears, episiotomy healing can be complicated by various factors, leading to discomfort, infections, and prolonged recovery. Understanding the risk factors associated with episiotomy healing is crucial for improving maternal health outcomes and ensuring a smooth postpartum recovery process.
