How long does it take for your pelvic area to heal after giving birth. my baby is now 11 months old and i am still having pelvic pain.

If : If you are still having pelvic pain you need a complete medical evaluation by your ob/gynecologist. You may be dealing with pain from a significant amount of scar tissue, possibly an issue of nerve entrapment, you could also have a pelvic/vaginal infection. Regardless, the key here is a thorough pelvic exam and testing as appropriate. Please see your doctor soon. Good luck.

Variable: Most women heal by 6 weeks post-delivery, but having some lingering pain can happen occasionally. By 11 months, you should be completely healed and not be having pain at this point. If you had a cesarean delivery you may have some scar tissue.I would rec a sono and testing for other causes.11 mos of pain is long enough to create a chronic pain syndrome. Breastfeeding can cause changes=persis pai.
