Episiotomy Scar

DS is 14 weeks. Not sure what happened during my birth, but I had a forceps delivery (so had an episiotomy) that I assume tore further as I had internal stitches the entire way up to my cervix.

Unfortunatley got my periods back (despite breastfeeding) :( and every time I've had one (have three) my entire scar aches like hell! Is it possible the hormones associated with a period makes your bits swell or something? Or is it something I need to ask the doctor to look at?
