sex too painful after 4 months!!

[pieceofcake]

that's it really....any ideas??

Did you have stitches?

yes. they also told me I had a superficial tear inside that would heal itself...

I think it took about 8 months for sex to feel normal again for me, after a 2nd degree tear.

really? it's unbearable though

Will be honest it wasn't ever unbearable, more uncomfortable. If it's that painful I would maybe go and see your gp?

If its that painful it could be the scar tissue that is stopping the area from stretching as it should. This is what happened to me and I have just had a Fenton's Procedure done - my dd is 4 1/2 months old. You should probably see your gp and see what he/she says. They may well refer you to the Gynae unit. Dont know what the outcome of my procedure is yet - only had it done 2 weeks ago so will have to wait and see if it works!

yes been once going back tues. wondered if it was normal. perhaps tear wasn't so superficial

what's fenton's procedure?

Basically its a small operation to remove the scar tissue and re-stitch the area. Can result in more scar tissue forming but apparently usually reduces it from what it was post-birth. I had it under general anaesthetic in the Day Care Unit. In and out the same day.

right o ta. happy healing...again!

Thanks!
