hi I had a baby 11 weeks ago it was a normal delivery with gas and air and i teared quite badly teared inside and the perinium but they said i didnt need any stiches there. I needed 5 stiches which were on the outside of the vagina. I am still getting pain just on the entrance of the vagina and just below (below were the tampon sits). when i use pads it hurts on the entrance of the vagina. i went shopiing at the weekend and i felt so weak and was nearly hurting as much as when i came out of hospital. So i thought i would use tampons to see if they hurt the first few was ok they hurt a bit to insert but then after that i had to go bk to pads as it was so painfull to insert or take out. it also hurts to have sex in the same place at the start of the entrance of the vagina. Also when I really need a poo it hurts so much i try to hold it in but when i do have to go i nearly cry. Does anyone know if they will just go away by its self or is something wrong with my vagina now. i had my 6 week check but the doctor didnt check me inside just asked a few questions. i hope someone can help because im worried but dnt want to ask my doctor incase he says this is normal also he is a man so dnt want him to check me down there if there is no need to.
thanks :-)
