I swear every woman goes through this! I remember crying because I thought I'd tore something VERY important LOL! But it was a UTI and I was fine... (Although I'm still trying to figure out how my brain told me that was physically possible)

Yes sometimes it can need to be checked out but the majority of the time its just part of the healing. Doesn't hurt to go to the GP just to be on the safe side. Although remember depending on your lochia it may be hard for them to tell.
