Pain during sex after birth

Hi mummies, I gave birth in August last year so it's been 5+ months now. My husband and I have been trying to have sex again but it's always too painful for me to continue. Anyone experience this before? Not sure if I should go visit the doctor or if it'll go away on its own.

I think it helps to have a gynae who's good with stitches. Dr Phoon Jessie from STOG did an excellent stitch, even the nurse next to her was impressed. I vaguely recalled that I could have sex 1 month PP and using of washroom right after childbirth was ok for me too. Nothing too unusual. I had natural birth.

thanks for sharing, that's amazing! i recovered pretty quickly (stopped painkillers around 1w+) so i thought my gynae did a good job but now i'm not so sure...
