I have two questions..
First off, for some reason the past few minutes I've felt a pain in my cervix. It's bugging the crap out of me. For a little backstory: I have 3 children, all vaginally birthed. I also have a few nabothian cysts, one is good sized, and the others are very small. I have Paragard IUD as well. Is there ANY reason to have a pain in your cervix when you're not on your period? I've checked my strings, and there is no plastic sticking out. So it's confusing the crap out of me. I'm pretty sure if a nabothian cyst was to bust or something, that shouldn't hurt, should it?
Secondly, my episiotomy scar bugs the crap out of me. Seriously. It's deeply embedded into my vaginal wall, and on top of that the scar itself is hard as a rock and all I can feel in that area is pain. Not only that, but since I had the episiotomy, I experience pain off and on every few days or so lasting for hours at a time. Also, where the perineum was cut, on my perineum there's slightly loose skin from the scar itself. Firstly, is it at ALL normal to experience episiotomy scar pain? Secondly, is there any way to do away with this scar without causing too much further damage to my vaginal wall? Or is it possible to have that area just cut back open, and sewed together more loosely? I don't know, it just bugs me. Yes I know how you guys feel about vaginal reconstruction surgery, but this is a PAINFUL scar. It feels like tons of needles prickling the scar area at the same time.
