TMI Vent: Hymenal Tag as a result of giving birth
Last week I put a post out about a vaginal skin tag. Well, I have one and I wanted to get it removed. So I went to the doctor today, and it is a hymenal tag (still a skin tag). They can't remove it in the office. If I want it removed, it will require a surgery at the hospital, and I'll have to be put under. My hymen has also dropped. WTF that means, I don't know and WebMD isn't helping.
DH and I have not had relations since the baby because when I was finally cleared, we've both been sick with miserable colds, sinus infections, and now he has the flu. So, I don't know if sex will hurt yet. This procedure might be considered cosmetic. AHHH.
I feel like I have a broken vagina because she also noticed that an area wasn't healing well and she used some chemical to burn granual tissue (?) to help the process and I have to go back in a week. She said that the scarring tissue that she did something to today would have made sex uncomfortable. Is this payback for a really good pregnancy? I thought God gave me a really easy pregnancy, labor and delivery because we lost our baby girl Angela last summer. I swear, when the odds say that something happens to 5% of people, that's me. I'm that 5%. My daughter had a disease that was like 1 in a F-ing 1,000,000.
I just want to cry. Everything has been so good, and then this business. Quite frankly, it's embarrassing and it's not like I can share with my friends that I have a broken Who-Ha.
Anyone else in this boat?
Sorry for sounding whiny, it's just frustrating when I feel like dumb $hit happens to me.

Re: TMI Vent: Hymenal Tag as a result of giving birth
I was told at my 6-week appointment that I might be developing a tag and need to get it taken care of later on. She used silver nitrate to help my tear form a better scab to help it heal. It was still really sore and felt like it was reopening the tear every time I went #2. So I went back at 8 weeks and she gave me the go ahead for sex. I still wasn't ready and neither was DH because he had been sick. We didn't have sex until 4 months PP. I say don't rush it. You not only need to BE ready but you need to FEEL ready.
I bled after our first try. It was bad at first but got better. However, I still bled and am still a bit sore. I think even though it was only a 2nd degree tear, maybe it was bad.
You do not sound whiny, this does not sound like dumb $hit- you've got some very valid stuff going on to be upset about. I hope everything works out for you.
