My child is now 18 months old but my fairy has never recovered from giving birth. I had a natural birth and 2nd degree tears that took a good 20 minutes to stitch up after. Sex and pooping still hurt even now It stings like hell between my fairy and my bum.
I know I should have been to the Dr's before now but has anyone had a similar experience and lived to enjoy sex again!?? Blush

It's a vagina and vulva.
Go and see your GP.

Talk to your GP. Birth injuries don't have to be put up with.

You need to stop being so prudish and get yourself to the gp. I had my stitches redone 6 months after giving birth as there was a problem in the perineal area. Everyone who dealt with me was specifically trained to deal with such issues and saw probably thousands of vulvas and vaginas before setting eyes on mine. There is no need to be embarrassed about having genitals, we all have them.

Sorry to jump on your thread I was just wondering if anyone might be able to help. As I feel I haven’t recovered either. I went back to normal pretty quickly after having my first child but I gave birth to my daughter December 2017 my Labour was very quick and she was a big baby 9 pound 4 oz 😱 when the Midwife checked me she said I only had a tiny labial tear and a small perennial tear and they would heal better without stitches. I was not checked again after this and sex to start off with was ok quite good actually then I stopped breastfeeding in October and started back on the pill and everything since then just feels strange. Having recently looked it looks as though my perineum should have been stitched, I barely have any left and feel quite open. Whilst having sex it feels as though one wrong move and my vagina and bum could become one. It feels as though there is no support towards the back of my vagina if that makes sense? I can feel very little during sex. My husband says everything feels the same but I’m not sure if he’s just trying to spare my feelings. I’ve been doing my pelvic floor exercises but this doesn’t seem to make any difference, I don’t have any incontinence issues. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have any advice? I’m only 27 and not ready for my sex life to be over.

@Socopop

I had a perineal repair for similar to you. Made a massive difference- ask your GP if it's possible. I had to wait though until we didn't want more kids

Thank you for replying. Oh really? My husband has had a vasectomy so we are definitely done. Could you please tell me what they do? Did you feel improvement regarding sex? Were you having similar problems? Sorry for all the questions it’s nice to know that there might be a solution.
