First, a little background: I had a vaginal birth, and delivered an 8lb11oz baby. I tore rather bad, although I'm not sure what 'degree' the tears were. I seemed to be healing well, but about 2 weeks ago it started stinging when I would go pee, and I just chalked it up to the tears still healing.
Yesterday I had my 6 week PP checkup, and I told my doctor about the stinging. And he and the nurse both commented on how red my vagina was, my doctor used the word 'angry' to describe it. But he doesn't know why it's like that, or what to do to fix it. I was tested for a UTI, but it came back negative, so the stinging isn't from that. It just feels like my skin is raw down there. Like actually inside, not the outside labia.
Nothing has changed, I'm still using the same brand of toilet tissue, and DH and I haven't DTD since the baby has been born, so it's not irritated from that. What could this be, and how can I make it better? Has this happened to anyone else? I'd appreciate any help!
