Is this okay after episiotomy?

Question

I am 22 days postpartum and had 4th degree tear and episiotomy. Recovery is anyway so painful but what is worrying me is a lot of pressure in my urethra and clitoris area whenever I stand or walk after sitting down for a while, like it’s going to explode. I messaged my doc and he didn’t raise any concern. Is this normal?

Answer

I have a 3rd degree tear my son had to be vacuumed out. I am 2 weeks post partum and it hurts so bad down there. It feels like I'm getting a quick shock in my clitoris area and in my vagina, my doc didn't seem concerned either plus the stitches dont help.

Answer

Yes, unfortunately the same thing happened to me. It was the WORST!!! I promise you will turn a corner VERY soon and it will feel much better. I remember my doctor saying that usually around 21ish days you take a drastic turn for the better. Suddenly that pressure finally went away. I will tell you that once I started using frozen diapers and padsickles again that helped a ton. I know it seems way too late to do that but give it a try. Hopefully it will go away in a day or two.

Answer

I has a second degree tear and experienced that for a long while

Answer

Yes it took me good 3 months to heal and didn't have sex till 6 months because I was very scared. The scar still hurts now at 6 and half postpartum.
