<< 5 weeks ago I delivered vaginally. It was first a vacuum attempt delivery and ended up in a forceps delivery. I have noticed since delivery a strange aching pain or bruise sensation in or above the urethra (mostly at the top of the urethra). It sometimes hurts when I first stand up after laying down (feels like a pull sensation). It sometimes hurts like crazy as I am urinating or at the end of urination. I have had urinary tract infections before and this pain is not the same as what I experienced with those infections. It almost feel like a horrible pull sensation and actually if touched in that area feels like a bruise. >> ******* Occasionally during the delivery process the bony place in the front above the urethra (Symphysis Pubis) where the two halves of the Pubic bone join will separate. It is a very painful thing. Sometimes this happens prior

to delivery. The separation will heal in time, but it hurts for a while. The diagnosis can be made by pushing with one finger in the area of the clitoris or by hooking one finger just inside the opening (feel the bone under the hook finger) and pulling. An x-ray will confirm this.

I presume the pelvic exam has been done ant that the urine check is normal?
