Hi, I had a Fentons procedure 3 days ago after I was overstitched by 1cm following my episiotomy during the birth of my son 3.5 years ago. It had been causing me pain during sex and some bleeding in a paper cut type line along my perineum. So the gynae consultant has cut the 1cm excess web of tissue and stitched it to stop it reattaching again. Sorry if that's TMI....
I was hoping for some reassurance regarding recovery times as it is agony at the moment, it feels aching and heavy when I stand and it burns and stings when I sit down. I can't sit down normally, more a loll over on to one buttock or the other. To top it off, I've got into bed and it's now agony lying down now too. I've been rinsing with water after weeing and patting dry. I'm taking paracetamol and ibuprofen alternately.
If anyone has had any experience of similar, can you please reassure me that it will get better as it feels like it's getting worse and I'm almost confined to lying down doing nothing which I am hating.
