Pain Down There...?

[jacquelinej11]

Ok so maybe this is too soon to ask but I have another embarrassing question (sigh sorry ladies)

So, I've had this pinching pain in my clitoris ever since DS came out - I thought it would go away after awhile but it still hasn't... I used to feel it when I would sit a certain way/walk a certain way but now it's just when I go to the bathroom to fast and when I... go in to wipe myself... Sheesh there is no elegant way to put all that is there?

Does anyone know what this is? Should I be worried about it at all?

DS was born Dec. 20 (so he'll be 6 weeks on Thursday).

TIA!!!

I had something like that. I was very careful about how fast I would allow myself to pee, and instead of wiping, I used a warm water squirt from a peri bottle until the area healed. Oh, and lots of warm baths. You can get loads of postpartum herbal sitz baths from lots of places.

You can also try gently retracting the hood of the clitoris and using your peri bottle with warm water to rinse the area. Sometimes a little hair or something will get caught up there and cause that sort of pinching pain.

Yep, I had that problem too... I don't remember exactly when it went away, but it's been totally resolved now for quite a while. (But it was longer than six weeks! Maybe like 4 months before I was totally painless)

If I remember correctly, it seemed to get better at least a couple times and then got worse again before finally going away. I'm pretty sure the "getting worse" times were related to sex...
