Episiotomy sutures dissolve on their own in 2 weeks time . episiotomy is needed in almost all of the cases specially first deliveries ..you would have been prescribed antibiotics and painkillers that will help with the pain ..you can use lignox gel to apply on your stiches.... N if pain is unbearable then you should get your self examined .
