Yes. I am 5 weeks PP today and my vag is still sore, I'm still bleeding (well, spotting), and I have horrible hemorrhoids. And lochia is effing gross and I wish it would just stop already.
Ugh, it's still bad at five and six weeks? I'm less than two weeks PP and I was hoping for some relief soon. I'm still moderately constipated, my hemorrhoids are just starting to shrink a little, and I randomly get sharp perineal pains from my stitches. I have no desire to stop taking high levels of Motrin.
I feel pretty good except my butt-boo constipation and hemorrhoids! 5 weeks PP and still some slight pink discharge. Mainly I pee myself more often. And I'm terrified to have sex for the first time but DH is haunching at the bit. Lord help.
The stinging went away for me around 2w pp. I still have bleeding throughout the day, more so if i'm active or sneeze. I did sneeze while peeing once - ouch that was awful! I'm still taking colace to avoid hemorrhoid pain and still using dermoplast and lidocaine until i run out. Now if only my nipples would heal
For those with hemmorrhoids --I ended up going to a GI specialist bc they were so bad! She prescribed me a compounded salve with lidocaine and hydrocortisone (awesome--better than EArth momma bottom balm) and--wait for it...Rectal Rockets. They are compounded suppositiries that work on all angles of the hemmies--sounds stupid, but they worked! I had 4 of the suppositories--and they shrunk up sooooo fast. You have to get then from a compounding pharmacy. I highly recommend them'!!!
