Advice Needed About Non Perineal Tear Posted: 02-13-07 11:45am
Hi,
i wanted some urgent advice from anyone
who has had an episotomy or nonpernieal
tear, im feeling very worried and
distressed.
During labour I experineced a non perineal
tear...Which the midwife did stitch
up...My baby is 4months old but that area
is still very sore and I get bleeding from
it sometimes. It looks as if the area is
bruised and swollen.
Im real worried about it....It feels as
though the area wasnt stiched
correctly..Im not sure as to what I can
do. I have taken a course of anitibotics
jus incase there was any infection present
but it hasnt made any difference.
I didnt feel comfortable to hav my doctor
to look at the area as he was a male
doc...A month ago the docs nurse did look
at and jus said it will probly heal up
itself..
I dont knw what I should do about it...Im
not sure whether I should go to the
docotrs again or jusr give it time? Then
again isnt 4months enough time and I
should get it sorted.
Has anyone else had non perineal tear I
was wondering whether its a serious
complication ? Does any one have any
advice as to what I should do? Is this
problem common? Its my 1st baby and I
dont knw what is normal.
I would b grateful for anyadvice
thank u

I havn't ever had a tear, I have
c-sections only. I think that maybe you
should call your doctor and have another
visit and have him look at it. Hun he
has see this a number of times and can
tell you whats going on. If you aren't
healing right then it needs to be fixed.
You sould be healed somewhere between 6-8
weeks .P.P. So call your doctor and
don't worry about him looking down there.
I know it's odd but he is used toit.
Keep us informed.

Thank you gen for takin the time to
reply...
Your right I should definitly go back to
the doctor, I didnt want him to think I
was making a fuss so I jus thought to let
it heal itself...But
i knw its silly but I cant help but worry
the midwife didnt stitch the wound up
properly.
