i gave birth vaginally almost a year ago, since then sex is so painful. almost like my vagina is too tight, not where my cut was but inside. ?

Question

After my child's birth, my vagina has loosened. How do I get a tight vagina like before the child birth?

Answer 1

Not normal: You know that what you are experiencing is not normal. You need to see your gynecologist to determine the cause for your pain and have it resolved. Scar tissue in the vagina as result of the delivery trauma can cause your symptoms and is usually amenable to surgical correction.

Answer 2

Lubricant, Dilation: There are many reasons why sex may not be the same a year after you've given birth - like exhaustion! But assuming that you are wanting to have sex: 1. Get a good lubricant ( www.Babeland.com) 2) Try positions where you have control over speed and depth (you on top, on your side, etc. 3) Ask your doctor about vaginal dilators to use at home to gradually adapt. Good luck and don't give up. LG

Answer 3

Ice: Try to limit the pain killers. Usually an absolute max is 8/day. It depends on the drug and the strength. Cold packs for 15-20 minutes at a time can help. There are many different meds to try if the 1 you are using is not effective.

Answer 4

Question cut off.: You may use the med as prescribed - sounds like 2 pills every four hours. I suspect this was a narcotic med combined with acetaminophen. Be careful not to exceed 4000 mg of Acetaminophen daily. 650 mg of tylenol 6 times a day would generally be safe for short periods of time.

Answer 5

Need full evaluation: A person with hearing problems since age 5 years will have had evaluations by her pediatrician or primary care doctor, been referred to an audiologist for complete testing, and been seen by an ENT doctor to find out if there is any correctable disorder causing the hearing problems. If these things have not been done, she should write down her story and take it to her primary care doctor to start.

Answer 6

50-60% of childhood: hearing loss is genetic; 40-50% is environmental. Pendred Syndrome causes 5-10% of inherited hearing loss & also causes hypothyroidism. It's caused by inheriting a specific gene mutation on Chromosome 7 from each parent. Take all your hearing test results from birth till now to your doctor & request a Chromosomal Microarray & referral to an ear doctor & an audiologist for assessment & treatment.

Answer 7

Cartilage: Xray doesn't show cartilage damage. If knee pain is persistent despite normal x-ray then MRI should be done to explore other possible cause.

Answer 8

See a doctor: This no longer sounds like influenza. If flu to begin with this can predispose you to secondary acute bacterial pneumonia which can be potentially very severe and even fatal. Please go to an emergency room asap and be examined and treated. Do not wait. Hope you are better soon.

Answer 9

Phlebitis & others: Pain and inflammation of the leg veins is called phlebitis. When this occurs it can be painful to the touch. The worrisome condition for which you need to get checked is a blood clot (deep venous thrombosis, dvt). This can be checked with a duplex ultrasound of your leg veins to make sure there is flow that is not blocked by a clot in your vein. There are many reasons for swelling so get checked!

Answer 10

Have it evaluated.: Some causes of swelling can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as varicose veins, arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, trauma (fracture, sprain, and tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
