Perineum question

Okay, this is a strange question but I have to ask. For about four weeks or so I ahve been having problems with my perineum splitting. It happens alot and has become very painful to go to the bathroom. BM's are very painful and cause more tearing. I have had three children with minor tearing(rec'd no stitches for any deliveries)and my youngest is 15 months old. Has any one else ever had this problem and can anyone tell me what I can do to heal and prevent more tears.

Thanks

Is it happening during sex or other activity, or just sort of spontaneously?

No it just happens spontaneously. My husband and I are not having sex right now...but that's another issue. It's like the skin has no elasticity left. It's very strange.
