Something's not right after giving birth - help pls

[Valdeeves]

Sorry to post here but I can't get any answers and I need help if its ok with you ladies?

I've had problems with my bladder in pregnancy - do much so that pretty much I lived on the toilet. By the end I was going fifteen times in the night and actually got much more sleep when I had the baby. I have a toddler and we were housebound.

After the birth I had urine retention and like the first birth I was given a catheter, which I was convinced injured me. This time wearing the catheter was so painful I could not walk and I just counted the 24 hours until was out. I was also told that my vaginal wall was protruding and to exercise to get it back.

I feel permently sore in my muscle area around my urethra in a burning way - and it's near four months on. My pyjamas bottoms always smell noticeably stale (my three year old girl told me I smell) and I go to the loo everytime I wake up.
What is this? Someone mentioned to me a kink in my urethra? Any ideas?

Sorry sweetie no advice other than get ye to the GP and stand in the office until he or she takes this seriously.

Gosh, sorry to read this. Things definitely don't sound right at all. I would definitely suggest going to the GP for a referral and if you don't like what you here try another GP who will take you seriously. I hope things improve for you.

Thanks ladies

Op, these things do take time to heal, but the nhs is also slow so you may want to get the ball rolling with your gp, maybe it could be a simple infection?

Also, urinary accidentsnafter birth often relate to pelvic floor tone rather than urethra or bladder, so in the meantime i would buy an internal pelvic toner and use it as much it says
