I have also noticed that although the perineum is "healed", vaginal tone is fairly frequently decreased, particularly in breast feeding women. Once the estrogen levels increase, so does the tone. This may take months...not weeks.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
