Episiotomy Scar
Posted: Tue Nov 30, 2010 7:48 pm
Since I have been seeing my new PT, my pain has started to localize to my right side in the perineum. Yesterday, I took a look around down there and I have an ugly scar in that location. I'm not sure if I tore or if I was cut. My first baby (now 16) was 9 lbs. 6 ozs. And 23 inches long. I was 118 lbs pre-pregnancy so it was a bit traumatic for me. I was very sore in the perineum and had really bad hemorrhoids. I was in so much pain that when my milk came in and I started having pain with breastfeeding I couldn't handle another source of pain and just stopped.
Is scar tissue from a tear or episiotomy a cause for PN? I've read a little about a Fenton's procedure where the dr recuts the scar to get rid of it and then stitches it back together. Anyone familiar with this?
I have requested that my dr send a RX to DR Potter for me but he's out of the office until Monday.
