Basically I had keillands forceps with massive episiotomy and tear 4 months ago. It got infected and never really seemed to heel right. Had check with private obygn at 7 weeks pp and it was too painful for him to examine properly but he could feel suture inside and wanted me to have it removed and do proper examination under GA. I thought this was extreme and didn't go back hoping it would go away... But it hasn't and i can feel the stitch pulling inside everyday. Recently had a smear and it was very painful. Will it dissolve eventually or do I have to have it removed and if so how do they do it, with scissors and local anasthetic?? I think the skin has healed round the stitch, is it stuck forever now? Anybody with a similar experience or advice appreciated, thanks!
