i am almost 5 months postpartum. i delivered vaginally and had a small tear. the stitches have apparently healed but my obgyn says there is a small area at the back vaginal entrance that is still unhealed. my doc says it is within a fold and has advised me to try to dry it well after my shower and apply desitin cream daily. i am also on estogen cream twice/week (i am breastfeeding) and i am supposed to rub this at the site daily as well. i have seen my doc several times now and there seems to be nowhere to go from here. my husband and i are unable to even penatrate and other than when we attempt to have sex, there is no real pain to speak of. i last saw my obgyn 2 weeks ago and at that time i was told to abstain for another week and then try (to have sex) again but i am still experiencing pain. should i call my doc again?...and is there anything else to try? if this just needs more time, i 'll give it that (what is an acceptable timeframe?), but right now it feels like there is no hope for me. thanks for your advice.
