Scar tissue—TMI

So I was very fortunate during delivery—it was pretty quick and I only pushed for a few minutes. I just had a really tiny tear that the midwife felt wasn’t quite a first-degree, but she did give me one stitch. It was at the vaginal entry, where the hymen would have been. She said everything had healed well at my 6-week appointment.

We tried having sex several times and it felt normal to my husband but to me, if felt as though I have a hymen again. Yes, we used plenty of lube, but it wasn’t enjoyable. So I figured it would work itself out after a few tries but it hasn’t. I felt the area and there’s a very tiny hard spot, which I assume is scar tissue.

Anyone find this goes away if you just keep at it, or did you have to do something (massage the tissue, return to OB/midwife)? It’s hard enough to make time for sex and I don’t want to continue these frustrating efforts if I should be addressing the issue a different way. 🤷🏻‍♀️
