Hey,

I had 3rd degree tearing due to an epi, around 7days after giving birth my wound reopened (people tell me its cos of bad stitching), so i went back to hossy to have it looked at, it was cleaned and packed and i was sent home. I had a nurse come out everyday to clean and pack it.
Now its down to weekly visits from the nurse, as the wound is to small to pack and needs to heal on its own.
She came out today, to clean it, she has now told me I have got hypergranulation and will need to clean it out with silver stuff next week when she visits.
She explained to me its due to too many cells being there, so its now healing too fast. Apparently it looks like little grapes (hhmmm not ever eating them again!! LOL), she assured me its not my fault, its quite normal due to the location of the wound (next to my no#2 hole, sorry for TMI).

Ok questions are
Is it something i have done to cause over healing? or something i havnt done?
also what is involved with this silver cleaning, i wasnt game enough to ask her about it, thinking it might hurt and dont want it on my mind for a week, but now im curious to know what she is going to do, prepare myself with questions and the chance it could hurt.
Will it hurt?

I would do it all again for my little miracle but ive been through enough with the whole birth and after care (inc the wound breakdown), i just want to be healed and back to normal, I hate that my body keeps doing stuff like this, first the wound breakdown, then it not healing well then it healing to well.

Main thing is wanting to get it off my chest

Since she has been, im quite sore again down there, and now my vagina hurts too, kinda like an ache with a bit of pain, like it was when it first happened.
She did say other then that it looks real good.
It has gone from being 1cm deep 2cms wide to only 1-2mm's deep and only starting to shrink in width.
