Post-Partum Vag Issues

[superrose.livejournal.com]

I've noticed that my vagina is sore... feels tight, stretched and chapped, down by the inner lips and that area between the vag and bum... here are the possible reasons why:

I gave birth to my twins just over three weeks ago, by C-section. I'm having a bit of trouble healing and the doctor put me on antibiotics... I've been on them for over a week now (no change in the incision, unfortunately)

I'm nursing said twins and pumping in between feedings.

I've just gone on a POP so that someday, oh some wonderful day, I can have sex with my husband again... and not have more twins.

I can't shower everyday yet, because the twins apparently don't want a clean mommy. So every other day at present moment.

Are any of these the reason for the symptoms described above? What does this sound like? Is there anything I can do about it?

Iawtc. Antibiotics of any variety usually guarantee a yeastie for me :( And a yi almost always starts out with "chapped" lips and perineum soreness for me before the itchies eventually come on. I'm thinking the antibiotics coupled with the stress of new born twins might definitely be contributing to the OP's discomfort.
