Had a pretty straightforward delivery, 15 mins pushing and 2nd degree tear. My stitches have now healed but I'm still getting tight pains in my vagina.
I've had a look and can't see any visible cause but it hurts if I press down the sides on the outside (if that makes sense?), seems to be all around the vaginal canal. It's like a pulling muscle pain.
The pain is also definitely exacerbated by walking etc and often there's no pain when waking up first thing in the morning.
Any ideas what this is? I'm sure it's not my stitches as the pain is round the whole canal, not just where I was stitched up.
