Tips To Take Care Of 
Stitches After 
Normal Delivery
Keep The 
Area Clean
Keeping The Stitches Area 
Clean Is Crucial For Avoiding 
Infections. After Each Time 
You Use The Bathroom, Use 
A Squirt Bottle Filled With 
Warm Water To Clean The 
Area Or Take A Shower. Pat 
The Area Dry With A Clean 
Towel, But Avoid Rubbing 
The Area Too Hard.
Use A Numbing 
Spray
The Area Around Your Stitches May Be Painful 
And Sore. Using A Numbing Spray Can Help 
Relieve The Discomfort And Make It Easier To 
Care For The Area.
Change Your Pads Frequently 
After A Normal Delivery, You Will Need To Wear Pads To Catch Any Discharge Or 
Bleeding. It Is Important To Change These Pads Frequently To Keep The Area 
Around Your Stitches Clean And Dry.
Avoid Lifting 
Heavy Objects
Lifting Heavy Objects Can Put Extra 
Pressure On Your Stitches, Leading To Pain 
And Discomfort. Avoid Lifting Anything 
Heavier Than Your Baby For At Least The 
First Two Weeks After Delivery.
Take Pain 
Medication As 
Prescribed
If You Are In Pain, Taking 
Pain Medication As 
Prescribed By Your Doctor 
Can Help Relieve The 
Discomfort. Make Sure To 
Take The Medication As 
Directed And Avoid Taking 
Too Much, As This Can Lead 
To Other Complications.
Avoid Activities 
That Put Pressure 
On Your Stitches
Avoid Activities Such As Horseback Riding, 
Cycling, Or Any Other Activity That Puts 
Pressure On Your Stitches. Wait Until Your 
Doctor Gives You The Green Light Before 
Engaging In Any Physical Activity.
