Massage techniques to the scar will help make the scar more supple and elastic, not only making it less painful but also if you have another baby it will aid in the optimal functioning of your pelvic floor.
I had the same thing for 11 months after DS1. I ended up going to a women's clinic and they prescribed me a pessary which you insert (a tablet, for about 2 weeks i think?), after this treatment i was pain free! It somehow helps to heal the scar tissue. Do try to look in to this as i had a tear and episiotomy, and stiches which were done improperly and caused the area to not heal, this treatment fixed it completely. Sorry i can't remember what it was called.
Hi I had painful scarring problems after my first birth, horrible multi-directional tear that continued to cause me pain for 18 months. Don't suffer in silence as there is plenty that can be done to help with these situations. I agree with the other ladies, you should be asking for a referral to a good gyno, but I'm also concerned that you don't have a good GP.
How to find a good GP? There should be a women's information or health service in your state. If you ring them, they should be able to provide you with a list of women GPs in your area that either specialise in women's health or are highly regarded by a large number of women. We move interstate quite frequently and this is how I have found all my good GPs.
