I had a 4th degree tear 13 months ago giving birth to my DS. I'm still uncomfortable so saw my GP about a month ago who immediately referred me to gynae consultant saying I had a defect and overgrowth of scar tissue, and also a skin tag.
I saw the gynae consultant last week (who called in head consultant) who both did a thorough internal exam and said that everything is ok, in the sense of no problems with a defect (despite what gp said just 3 weeks previously), but where i was stitched is painful so they've offered a re-fashion of my perinium, which has a 50/50 chance of being effective in reducing the discomfort and pain I have.
I've decided to go ahead with the surgery (wont be until end of Jan/early Feb at earliest so plenty of time to change my mind research a bit more) but want to know if anyone else has had this done and if it is worth it.
Recovery-wise I've been advised it will be 3 days of agony, a week or so uncomfortable and then by 3 weeks post surgery all back to normal.
