Mandy I agree with Claudia. It sounds like a periurethral tear, but I would have suspected it would have healed by now. Other possiblilites are granulation tissue in a tear or scar. If you are nursing, the dryness will cause discomfort to last longer. KY or Long lasting KY will help. If it persists, please call your OB back and have him check it out. Hope this helps.
