Over the past week or so, I've had bad stinging when washing in the shower. It seems that the soap is irritating something in the lady bits area, but I can't pinpoint what exactly. I've also tried using a mirror, but nothing looks out of the ordinary. I had a c section, so no tears or anything. I have no pain otherwise and it goes away by the time I dry off and put my underwear/pad (because still bleeding) on, but MAN it stings at the time. Any ideas??
Having similar sensations here. Not necessarily in the shower but just random times- like standing in line at the store, looking in the fridge, sitting in the car. And it's like omg... take your breath away and then gone. WTH. I do not remember this after my previous c/s. I also thought yeast but no other symptoms. Weird.
I had a csection and experienced this a lot around weeks 3 and 4. I still have the burning sensation randomly but I noticed it got better when my bleeding tapered off.

I wonder if this could be a yeast infection. I've never had one before, but I always thought it meant itching. However, I'm pretty sure I have thrush (as is boob thrush), so I guess that would make sense? My OB prescribed a thrush pill for me so maybe that will knock it off?
If not, I'll ask about it at my 6 week appt in 1.5 weeks.
I had this and thought it was a yeast infection but it turned out just to be chaffing from the pad. I couldn't see anything but it hurt like hell in the shower too.
