Does a granulation tissue growth on an episiotomy wound need treatment?

In general, whether granulation tissue at an episiotomy site requires treatment depends on the specific circumstances. If there is no infection, treatment is usually unnecessary; however, if infection occurs, intervention is typically required. The details are as follows:

Granulation tissue is a normal part of the wound healing process and usually resolves on its own over time. If there are no signs of infection, special treatment is generally not needed. Excessive intervention or improper management of granulation tissue may actually lead to wound infection or other complications.

However, if the skin surrounding the granulation tissue becomes infected with bacteria, causing inflammation and symptoms such as itching and pain, treatment is usually necessary to prevent interference with daily life. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may use medications such as Penicillin V Potassium Tablets, Azithromycin Tablets, or Erythromycin Tablets for treatment.

Maintain good daily habits and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, and garlic, which may impair recovery.
