I'm 2 months postpartum and i keep getting vaginal pain/pressure only when i sit on the toilet. never had this before pregnancy. what could this be?

Healing: It sounds like you had a tear or an episiotomy that is taking a while to recover fully. There can be some persistent discomfort in the perineal /vaginal area for several months after delivery with a tear or episiotomy and repair. Especially if you breastfeed, which changes the normal hormonal balance of the vagina and lowers estrogen production which can cause dryness of the vaginal tissue.
