This is a bit of a long shot and not sure if I am posting in the right area here!

My episiotemy scar has over the last 3 months become very uncomfortable dring the 1st two days of my period. Almost like a throbbing pulsing kind of pain in that area. It has been fine up untill this started and will be a year old in 2 weeks! Does anyone know if this is normal, or why it is happening! I havent been able to get a docs app for another week and a half so was just after some advise!

It is very uncomfortable even more so when I am moving about lots which is hard as I am a waitress! Do you know why it happens?

Is it the dryness before a period? Maybe try some KY jelly in the area?
