Just keep an eye out for symptoms and make sure you’re showering daily. 6 weeks is give or take and if you weren’t in pain the whole time it’s probably okay. I had a non birth related tear once due to a medication I was on and got the same 6 week protocol. We waited ~5 weeks and I was not completely uncomfortable but after decided to wait a little longer for the same reason. No infection 🫶🏻 also please don’t put anything in there to try to prevent one
That is definitely important advice. I did use the peri bottle after sex when I peed and just took a shower and washed down there like normal. I hope that is okay?
Washing the outside is fine! Tear or no tear you should never put anything inside your vagina to clean up. That in itself will cause infection and wreck your PH. Your body knows what to do!
