sorry stiches again but HELP

[maldives]

been to the Dr to check my stiches as i suspected it has an infection.. well thank god it was clean..but..she said there was a gap between the stiches she said it will heel by it self and she wouldn't re stich it as it may cause an infection..she said there r deep stiches too and those were fine..is there anything i should be worried about??
other thing. she said it normaly takes at least a month or longer for the stiches and the wound to heal..but..i normally like to keep my lady bits waxed...i guess i can't do that now??

it depends on the seriousness of the tear hun but mine took a good six weeks to heal. During that time there was NO WAY I would have waxed, or even gone near my bits! It was bad enough just going to the loo!
Hope you feel better soon

I doubt you have anything to be worried about. If its all clean and healing well then stop fretting.

I had over 20 stitches, internal and external and it took a good 3 weeks to start to feel normal down there. The stitches dissolve over time so will come out when ready and the cut will be healed by then.

I'd leave waxing well and truly alone. Don't go doing anything down there till everything is properly healed and you've given yourself an extra couple of weeks to be sure.

i agree with sherlock, ive left mine well alone for the time being

my tear healed within the first week and stitches had dissolved too but i tried having sex after bout 10 days and it hurt like crazy so it mightve LOOKED healed but not really been, iykwim?

i wouldnt wax yet luv- if u wanna hear tmi then read on...


i dont wax (i'd love to but cant bear letting the stubble grow back enough to do it ) BUT with a decent 3-blade razor i can do a neat job that looks just like a wax job- yep including the spiders legs between folds it involved a lot of careful prizing-apart-with-fingertips and stretching and stuff (luckily im very bendy its easy-peasy)

i also like to keep scrupulously clean and i do so by wearing those exfoliating gloves in the shower and with one finger rubbing between folds and then one goes inside and circles around (ah, the secrets to keepin him keen for 8 years! might not be quite as keen if he reads this no-frills account of my preening regime LOL)

anyway couldnt do any of that just after giving birth didnt wanna tug them stitches out (ouch!) or anything so had to make do with plain running water!

i really thought my foo-foo would be mingin and hairy and un-clean, but when i checked i was rele suprised to found no hairs had even grown there, and nor was it unkempt! was nicely suprised i must say.

anyway i didnt resume my usual routine until after 3 or 4 months.
