Try to rest as much as possible and minimize walking to let the stitches heal better. My wound was swollen due abrasion of the stitches after too much of walking. After each pee/poop, wash with clean water and dab the area dry. As my gynae didn't give me antiseptic solution to wash, I used epsom salt and sitz bath tub to soak the wound in warm water for 10minutes 3times a day to let the wound heal better and to reduce any infection.
