I Had A Fairly Normal Vag. Delivery But Did Have

I had a fairly normal vag. delivery but did have some extensive tearing and an episiotomy as well. I had a urine catheter placed during labor, then again after delivery due to the fact that my urethra was swollen and I was unable to pee. That second catheter was removed the morning after my delivery and I was able to pee normally.

A few days after coming home I started to notice a strange pain or discomfort in the urethra area. It actually hurts to touch the clitoris...very sore. And I can also feel a painful feeling that sort of descends down the urethra, especially after standing. All of my other postpartum pains seem to be getting better and I only really have a general ache in the whole vaginal area. But this wierd pain in the urethra/clitoris seems to be getting worse.

Please help,
Elena
