Easiotomy Cream comes in pure, aqueous cream base format.

Easiotomy Cream can be used both before and after birth to prevent and heal perineal damage. For a few weeks before birth, the cream should be lightly massaged into the affected area one to three times a day, after cleansing. After birth, gently apply the cream once or twice a day after cleansing.

You will find a white sticker on the tube with the expiry date on it. It is best stored in a cool dark place out of direct sunlight.

No, Easiotomy Cream does not have any side effects as it is 100% natural.

This is a very individual matter and you should only resume penetrative sex once you feel ready. Generally if you have had stitches, it is wise to wait at least until the stitches have healed, which can take 4 - 6 weeks. If you managed to give birth without an episiotomy, you may feel ready sooner. The best idea is to take advice from your health care provider during your postnatal check ups and to follow your own feelings.

Initial tenderness and some anxiety will be expected when making love for the first time after childbirth. However, relaxation, a patient and understanding partner and some lubricant will go a long way to make you more comfortable.

Many women are worried about this when the time comes. The best advice is to try not to worry and to allow nature to take its course. One often does not have a bowel movement for a day or two after giving birth and this usually gives you a chance to recover. Make sure that you eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and especially that you drink plenty of water to prevent constipation and encourage a soft stool. Once you have your first bowel movement, you will probably realize that your anxiety was greater than the actual discomfort experienced!

Complications of episiotomies do occur so call your doctor or health care provider if:
• Pain does not decrease within about 2 weeks
• Pain or swelling worsens
• Sudden bleeding occurs
• You develop a fever

Cold packs or compresses placed on the perineum can help to relieve the worst of the discomfort during the first few days after delivery. Special compresses for the perineum may be provided by your hospital or birthing center or may be bought from medical supply stores. However, even a clean cloth soaked in a little lavender or rose water and applied to the perineal area for a few minutes will provide welcome relief.

'Sitz baths' or sitting in a clean tub filled with cold or warm water will provide relief from pain and reduce swelling. Adding salt to the water will also help to prevent infection.

Use a squirt bottle to decrease burning pain when urinating. Squirt your perineal area with water while urinating as well as afterwards for a gentler option than wiping.
