What Causes Painful Intercourse Post Vaginal Child Birth?

Hi, I gave vaginal birth 5 months ago already. I had a 2nd degree tear, and at my post-partum check up, doctor gave me 2 sessions of silver nitrate to heal and then he cleared me up. I am still in pain during intercourse, so I believe it has not heal completely. I would like to know how could I help myself from home? Is there any remedy I can do to myself to heal? I would not like to go back to the doctor not go through an episiotomy. Thanks a lot for your help

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Usually pain after five month is not because of tear. But it is because of some thing else.

It must be a infection in your vaginal part.

Exact diagnosis can only be known after the proper visuals and examination. I suggest you to get your self examined by doctor.

I understand that you don't like to go to doctor. But there is no way out that you can be treated at home directly.

Infection in that part can be caused by the various pathogens but treatment cant be given under all organisms .

I suggest you to visit a doctor.

You can also maintain good hygiene at your private part it almost cures fifty percent of you.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
