perineal tears
| Fri, 10-10-2003 - 11:41am |
I gave birth 13 months ago. I did not have an episodomy and had no severe tearing that needed stiches. However ever since then every time me and my husband have sex I get 1 to 2 tiny tears in my perineum. They bleed a little sometimes more than others but always heal in a day or two. They said that it would take time for the perineum to heal because it was stretched out so far (I gave birth to a 9lb 11oz baby) and we use lubercant...but it doesn't matter how much k-y we use it still tears....anyone else with this problem....and why tear now if not during birth....what could be the cause of this...does anyone have advice for me
thanks

Welcome!
This might be a shot in the dark, but are you on any hormonal birth control?
