Anyone else have an internal tear from birth?

Question

I had a second degree internal tear. They did think it was third degree but when they took me to theatre they saw that it wasn't. I'm 3 weeks pp and it's still hurts when I'm standing and walking. It's like really painful pressure. Is it normal for it to still hurt after 3 weeks? I keep getting worried incase something is wrong. If you had an internal tear how are you feeling down there and how far pp are you?

Answer

I had multiple internal tears also, it was painful and uncomfortable right up until my 6 week follow up appt. sitz baths really helped with witch hazel and some of those hemmoroid pads and some hydrocortisone afterward.. I made the mistake of using the numbing spray which is a HORRIBLE IDEA, I don't recommend it. You can't feel anything when you should really be taking it easy and pampering that area. I highly recommend using the sitz bath it helped me immensely !
