Stitches

Is it normal to be in pain one month after natural childbirth? I had stitches for a tear.?

The pain is kind of like a burning sensation, its not that bad but it worries me. I am scared to see a doctor at this time. I did take medicine for a urinary tract infection and finished all of it already

1. Try soaking in a tub of warm water (20 min)with some sort of disinfectant in it ( 2 cap fuls) per tub(dettol) .a couple times a day and let the affected area by cleansed thoroughly. The skin was sensitive for me also, I was cut not torn but it took a while to feel normal again...... Do not not go to the doctor out of fear, you have a new baby, you want to be well to look after it... make an appt and checked out...if this doesn't work for you
2. Look why are you scared? You make your own torture. Go to a doctor you may have an infection and you need to get it straightened out.
3. yup, normal. Be patient it took me about 8 weeks to start feeling normal, a bit longer for sex.
