Erbium laser is used to treat problems arising with episiotomy scars..
Patients might have painful sexual intercourse after an episiotomy if the healing is resulted in scar tissue.
Scar tissue is rigid and not elastic and that is why you might experience pain.
This procedure is suitable if:
- you have been diagnosed with scar tissue in the episiotomy area
- you have a bad healing from episiotomy before and you want to prevent a similar problem next time.
Treatment can be done 5- 6 weeks after delivery.
You will need a gynaecological exam beforehand to ensure this is the right treatment for you.
A course of three treatment is recommended.
There is no downtime afterwards but you might have some discomfort for a few days.
