How long for 2nd degree tear to heal?

Hi all,

Advice wanted please.

I has a second degree tear and an excellent repair job.

However a few of the stitches went and I had a half centermetre section that didn't heal.

I went to the GP at 4 week and was told it would heal by itself. same story at the 6 week check.

its now been 10 weeks and there has been no further healing. whilst it's not actively painful it is very tender and would be a limiting factor to me having sex again.

Any idea how long it is likely to take, is reasonable to wait before going back to GP?

thanks Katy

i would go back again. mine healed fine, so no experience of this problem but i'd have thought it ought to have healed by now
