I'm really frustrated with the healthcare system in the UK especially following an episiotomy. I've had conflicting advice from different midwives on what to do in the weeks following- some say make sure you have sitz baths everyday, while another said don't have baths, wait til the stitches dissolve? And the GP had no clue.

Has anyone received clear instructions on what to do? I'm currently on day 10 following the birth and I'm in agony! Still taking painkillers round the clock. Warm water feels good when I'm pouring it on and I don't want to risk further damage with Epsom salts and a bath if you're not supposed to actually have one!
