Is this expected after episiotomy?
I am 26 days postpartum. Had 4th degree tear and episiotomy. I have sharp shooting pain deep in my rectum area like I have piles. A doc checked me for constipation last week to see if my rectal passage has narrowed down but that wasn’t the case. Now my bowel movements are regular but this stabbing pain is making me worried. I am afraid to go through further rectal exams. Is this pain expected in my case?
