This treatment is dependent upon the cause of the injury. If it is related to childbirth and a poorly repaired episiotomy, then 6-8 weeks after successful surgery should be sufficient.

If you have no confidence in the local doctor then my favorite saying is "When in pain, get on the plane". You can find experienced surgeons in the UK and the US.
