A member asked:
Fast-paced, long distance horseback riding would not pose problems to a well-healed 4th degree perineal repair would it? about 4 months postpartum
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Might not: but my recommendation would be to give it more time to heal. sounds like a lot of stress to place on a relatively new wound.
