Repair of botched 4th degree repair/ectopic scar tissue -- what's causing this pain???From: Melanie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 31 Mar 2001 21:40:12 -0600 (CST)
I had a 4th degree laceration during the delivery of my rather large 10 lb. 2 oz. son 7 years ago this May. However, I gave birth to another son (9 lbs) almost 5 years ago vaginally with hardly any tearing whatsoever. I had major damage done during the first pregnancy and due to some oversite on the dr's part (he left me 3/4 of the way open on the inside tear) a major infection set up and I had to be in the hospital 9 days and practically have reconstructive surgery done. In 1998, I had an ectopic pregnancy (they saved the tube) on my right side. I have been experiencing MAJOR pressure in my vagina, mainly on the right side. At first I thought it might be a urinary tract infection, but it just won't let up. I can feel something that almost feels like a bubble pooching out of my vagina when I am sitting down. It doesn't affect me when Im lying flat. I had major cramping during my last period which I finished up yesterday and it has ached to the point to where I have to apply a heating pad. When I pee, it is almost a burning sensation because of so much pressure. My doctors have scheduled a vaginal ultrasound for this Tuesday -- they don't know I'm thinking that I might be having complications from my laceration or the ectopic -- will they be able to see anything on the ultrasound that will tell them it might be complications from that repair or the ectopic, or how should I ask them about it? Could it be a cystocele/rectocele, or maybe scar tissue? I appreciate anything you can tell me or any advice you can offer. My email address is Pyramids54@aol.com.
