I need some help! I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl on Tuesday morning at 5 am, so it's been a little over 4 days... When I gave birth, I tore on the side of my vagina and it has been horrifyingly painful with a burning sensation pretty much all the time... Is this normal and how long should it be burning like this? It hurts to the point of almost screaming when I pee and I have a very high pain tolerance!
I tore posterior and they didn't give me a spray bottle or any numbing spray. it was hell. I dealt with the pain during peeing but eased discomfort with pads that had aloe and witch hazel put in the freezer! As grody as it is, there were even times I would only pee in the shower 😰
@kelseys, I looked at it and it doesn't look infected at all... I think it must just be the healing process @shannaa24 okay that's what I'm going to keep doing... When using dermoplast, are you supposed to spray it directly on your vagina or onto the pad?
yes. I had it. it was horrible!!! just keep using that spray bottle and pay yourself try with a towel.
maybe its infected? you can always call and ask the OB if she will check it out
Yes they gave me all those and I use them and I clean with the squeeze bottle, but it still burns!!!
like the other ladies said, which hazel pads, and use water while going pee. what I did that helped a lot since it was on the side, I rolled up a bunch of paper towels, and held it on the spot so the pee didn't touch it.
I tore also but the gave me numbing spray and a water bottle you squeeze to help
I tore to when I gave birth to my daughter. They should of gave you a squeezy water bottle so after or while you pee squirt warm water to ease the burning.
@katrinacurry, I was never giving dermoplast. just warm water in a spray bottle. everytime you pee, or even while you pee, spray yourself with it. my sister in law used an anti itch spray. you want to spray your vagina from a far, not to close. I would also call your obgyn. she can tell you more then I can.
