A member asked:

How long does a woman's vagina hurt after having a baby while having sexual intercourse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unhealed, forever: If the vagina has not healed since childbirth, or there are stitches from an episiotomy then the pain will continue "forever". You must see your OB MD to be certain that there are no physical causes for the pain post-childbirth.
