6 week PP with 2nd degree tear
At around 4/5 weeks PP I realized everytime I peed it would sting a bit. At first it would come and go and wasn’t too bad. Closer to the end of week 5 PP, the sting was more consistent so I decided to take a peek down there and noticed a red flap looking thing along side my stitches which later after doing some research I now believe it’s granulation tissue…. Okay cool intro done…. My question is if it’s okay to use witch hazel pads/dermaplast or would it make it worse? I do sitz bath and my 6 week appt is coming up soon but I was just looking for temporary relief aside from a sitz bath. I’m at the point where I dread having to use the restroom at all whether it’s pee or a BM. I can’t just sit and pee I have to lean forward to avoid it going to my stitches/red flap.
