Pain During Sex
| Wed, 01-14-2004 - 10:33am |
Hello! My name is Anne and I am new to the messageboards. I had a baby 8 months ago and would love to hear from some of you who have had similar experiences. During my delivery I had a small tear to my perineum which was stitched by the doctor. My DH and I resumed sex at 6 weeks postpartum. It was no surprise that sex would be uncomfortable; however, 7 months later it still hurts! BTW, I went back to the gyno at 3 months PP. She examined me and announced that I had some scar tissue buildup on the bottom of my vagina. She simply recommended that I massage it daily with some lube. Having regular sex, I have been very surprised that the pain has not diminished significantly. My main concerns are:
1. How long will I have to live with this pain? and
2. Will it tear during childbirth with Baby #2?
I did not have an episiotomy.

I can't help you too much with these questions as I have never had a baby.
