hurting really bad..help..:(

kritten_octoberbby

I tore sideways and didnt recieve stitches. The pain down there is soo bad i cringe. I use a peri bottle to dilute my urine when i pee, i have a spray thats supposed to be a pain reliever, i am using tux pads and i have pain pills. Is there ANYTHING u can do for it to help the pain and to make it heal faster.. i heard sitz baths but since im not stitched idk if i can do those...

i heard witch hazle is supose to help.. but i dont know so dont quote me on that.. why arent you stitched

Kingsmama

Yes do the sitz bath 2-3xs a day it will moisten the area so ur skin doesn't dry out. And the tuks pads should already have witch hazel on them. Also u can put ice packs down there.

Kingsmama

And NO soap down there for awhile it will dry u out even more and irritate ur skin.

@kingsmama i can sitz bath even tho im not stitched? The only soap that goes there is whatever comes off my head and body in the shower..im still bloody down there because i cant clean myself. Its too painful..

Why didn't they stitch you?

kailiasmomma05

Yes u can still do sitz baths with stitches or not. I didn't have stitches and did them think it helped me heal quicker.

kritten_octoberbby

@kailiasmomma05 how long before your pain went away?
@smcox i had a natural birth with no epidural.. i didnt want stitches if i could do w/o them. She said i would heal without them..

Stitches aren't generally needed our bodies know how to heal after birth. Sitz baths are totally fine and might help a lot.2-3 times a day is good or more if needed

In the first aid aisle at the drugstore is a numbing spray called dermaplast. That stuff is a life saver! I got it from the hospital with my daughter.

Kingsmama

Ya u can still sitz without being stitched. It will help u heal faster too. I was stitched and it took 5 1/2 weeks for all the stitches to heal and for me to have no pain at all and start having sex pain free again. Which BTW is amazing now!

Also do not use the betadine every time you urinate it will make you raw...sitz baths and dermapkast are both great ideas.

@Kingsmama how does sex become afterwards? I'm intrigued

Mama_luvs_her_girls

I would use ice packs

Hubby says I'm tighter now but I feel the same on the inside to both him and I. It didn't hurt but I told him to go slow at 1st, then after a bit we were at it like old times he felt longer but I think that may have been cuz I haven't had sex in so long. I'm also a lot more sensitive now especially in my clit, and I can cum a lot faster now than I could before. I think it feels better now but maybe its just cuz I've missed it for so long lol but I don't think that's the case. We actually just did it again a lil bit ago and he came inside of me! I'm not on any bc either! But he knows that, and if I get preggers again its his fault this time for not pulling out. He knows I'm super fertile too. If I do get preggers he's getting snipped after this one!

@babynewyear2012 i dont have any betadine. What is that?
@kingsmama epsom salt is the same thing right?

Kingsmama

@kritten_octoberbby ur talking about the sitz bath? No its just warm water in a pan that fits over the toilet and u sit with ur cooch submerged for 15-20 mins twice a day. Don't use epsom salt or anything else down there cuz it will dry u out really bad and crack ur skin making it worse.

kritten_octoberbby

@kingsmama oh ok. My mom was saying to use the salt.. glad i didnt lol
