A member asked:
Is it normal for sex to still be painful 5m post partum? i had an episiotomy. lots of lubricant is used and we go slooow.

Have OB MD check: Have your OB MD check the stitches from the episiotomy to be certain that they are absorbed and the area is healed and not infected. If the pain is on entry, that is likely the problem. If it is deeper, then the OB MD needs to investigate further.
