i was like that after both children.
my first was epidural, episiotomy and forceps and my second was natural, no drugs, no interventions but i tore alot...
after my second i couldnt tell if i needed to pee either and unless i looked in the toilet i wouldnt know if i was weeing or not....

mine subsided but took a good while before i felt normal down there.
my back passage felt weird too

Don't worry, it's quite normal. I had a so-called 'natural' birth and it took a few days before I had much bladder control at all. Now 5 weeks later I still have problems if I cough or sneeze ... it takes a while before your pelvic floor muscles begin to recover enough to start doing your kegels again (I couldn't feel a thing for the first week). They have just had a terrible strain!

two words...kegel exercises its wonderful what having children does to our bodies
