My wife just went to the gyno yesterday...almost 19 mos. since our daughter was born...wanted to ask about her post partum scarring, lowered sex drive, etc. Keep in mind we didn't have sex for
5 months, after the baby was born due to complications with scarring, infections etc. I will include that sex since that five month hiatus has been hit and miss...literally. I'd hit it, and then I'd miss it for many weeks....(this is supposed to be a serious thread, but I did find that last little joke kind of funny! Good one, eh?
Anyway, the doctor told her she had really bad scarring which needed surgical correction, but it won't be worthwhile having that sugery until after we're done having children for good. Secondly, and this is where I need some help, TFPers, the doctor told her she had a particular problem which had something to do with the tightening of the muscles in her vagina. What happens is that every time something comes in close contact with the vagina, the muscles automatically tighten up, making sex considerably more difficult and uncomfortable...
Have any other women here had this problem? I would love some insight into how you coped, what you did, if you've had any correctional surgery...
I suppose this could have gone in Tilted Parenting too, but I figure it fits here, and there's more exposure here as well...
