Painful sex, episiotomy and fentons procedure

[Moofin]

o I had my baby 8 months ago - won't go into the details as its A long long story! But the short version is that it was a very traumatic forceps birth resulting in an awful episiotomy that took 10 weeks to close. I've been using dilators for 5 months and we've reached a stage where I can sort of tolerate intercourse but it's still pretty awful. To say I'm feed up is an understatement, I'm now on the waiting list for a fentons procedure to hopefully sort out the scar tissue, but my consultant Seems pretty negative about it - risk of further granulation etc. As far as I'm concerned the scaring would not be so bad if they hadn't gave made such a shit show if my stitching in the first place - I'm not prepared to give up on pain free sex at age 29! any one got any postive or negative stories to share?

I've had this! They basically opened my scar and stitched it back up. But I wasn't given any problems, I was booked in within a year, was even in a nhs funded private hospital. Persist with it because it definately helped me, even after I had another baby (no tears with him thouhh)
