Have I damaged something down there? TMI I'm sure!

[Arimeh]

So yes, embarrassing but I'm a tad worried.

Sometimes when I stand up I feel this pressure down there. But when I investigated just before, it was like there was a hard thing pressing into my vagina - but from my bum region!?? As far as I know I have nothing stuck up my arse..

So is this normal? I did have a fairly long pushing stage (45 minutes) and got a HUGE hemorrhoid for my efforts, which has basically just gone down now into a normal sorta size but its not bothering me cos its like an outside one IYKWIM?. Could it be another one inside my bum?

Sorry for the TMI but just wanting to know if I have to make a docs appointment or not to get it checked out. Cos I'd rather NOT... lol

mmm i have someting similar, but for me its just hard scar tissue from DD1's birth and resulting episiotomy dont worry my vagina is a tad worse for wear!!

Just so I understand this "hard thing" isn't in your vagina but you can feel something hard in your bum region from inside your vagina? That right darl?

Yah thats it. I didn't stick my finger up my bum

Olive -yah I'm too afraid to actually use the equipment yet.. haha

Nae - I didn't have any cuts or anything - just a little tear that didn't need stitching to my peri - would it be the same thing?

I have been feeling the same thing I asked my Dr and he just said its scar tissue pressing on nerve endings - great!!!!

also just remember its only been a few weeks so give yourself time iykwim x

Do your pelvic floor excercises! It's all still recovering down there and won't feel normal till at least 6 weeks. I used to feel like mine had caved in but it's in stellar condition now

[Shanti]

Mine didn't feel normal for weeks afterwards....

I pushed for 1hr 45mins VERY LONG (she was posterior!) and I'm sure I strained a fair bit down that region

It will feel a bit odd for a bit..... get your GP at your 6wk check up to check it all over which they do anyway and that will give you some reassurance.....

I'd say you are still swollen and you inners still need time to go back into place IYKWIM... my kids fell out of me and I had the same thing.

Yeah I know I have to - I still have trouble stopping the gush of wee when on the toilet.. lol

[sneakysparkle]

It does take a couple of months to start to feel normal I rekon - so hang in there, and keep doing those pelvic floor exercises!
I used to get a "tired" vjayjay, where it felt like it was all going to fall out lol - my MW said that it was really important for its healing to lie down to rest, that sitting down just didn't cut it! So make sure its "resting" too!

[ll80]

I had the same thing and just made sure to do those pelvic floor exercises after a week was fine again.
