I think I may have tore my perineal tear again. Help please!

I gave birth to my son December 19, 2012. He was 8lbs 2oz, 21 1/2in long. He was my first child and I tore with him. If I could guess, I would say second degree. Well, everything healed. Everything seemed fine. Well, he's now 5 1/2 months old. We just went to see his dad in Twentynine Palms, CA, (he's a Marine). Of course we had sex considering we're apart more times than we're together. Anyway, I come back home. A few days later, I start feeling this burn when I pee. I finally got some guys to look at it and see what it was. By the looks of it, it looks like my tear has torn open again. Now, I'm not certain of this and I don't want to go to a Dr's office just to find out that I'm wrong. Is there any advice on how to tell whether or not I did? And if I did, how can I get it fixed? Thank you in advance. Your advice is greatly appreciated!

If it's sore and burning when you urinate, go straight to your GP. Also, who you had look at it has told you that your "tear has opened up again", so I'm assuming thing dont look as they should, right?

Don't mess about, trying to guess whether your perineum has been re-damaged or not. If its fine, worst case scenario is you'll have had a wasted trip.

Good luck x
