A member asked:
10 wks postpartum after 4th degree tear. noticing some minor post-defecation leakage with softer stool. will this improve as the sphincters heal?

Pelvic Floor Rehab: I would recommend seeing a Urogynecologist who can perform pelvic floor rehabilitation. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and the sphincter in particular will help with the healing process now and hopefully save you from some problems later in life. If you are considering having more children, I recommend discussing with your Ob/Gyn the pros/cons of another vaginal birth vs. a c-section.
