4th Degree ComplicationsFrom: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 23 Jul 1998 16:48:27 -0500 (CDT)
4 1/2 months ago a gave birth to a 8lb 14oz baby girl. The ob. cut me and then I had a 4th degree tear. Also, low forceps were used to assist my daughter out. Shortly after I experienced rectal incontinence, but that has gotten much better. Now, I frequently leak something that I don't know if it is vaginal or rectal (it really burns once I feel it in my vagina), I have "granulation tissues" in my perineum area and a very firm, extremely tender lump inside and to the right of my sphincter. Every time I have a bowel movement, that lump is painful for hours- sometimes days. Basically, I have 2 problem areas. #1- the tissues in the perineum always hurt and always bleed and #2- the painful lump and rectum area. My ob. has given me two injections of anesthetic, the first time feeling good for several days, the second time was no good. (The pain of these shots were so horrible I will NEVER accept that as treatment again) As it stands, I'm currently waiting for a referral to a colon specialist who will most likely do surgery (so I'm told). I am SO tired of the constant pain and, of course, my non-existent sex life that I want to do whatever is best and quickest to end this condition. Is surgery best? Do I have other options...that do not involve simply waiting? I do plan on having other children, but I will not go through this again. Should I have a C-section next time? I hope you can answer some of my questions and possibly alert me to anything else I should look into. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Amy
