I was 6 weeks postpartum. I came in because sex felt like I was being cut open. I told the OB “Something is wrong. I’m in pain.” She didn’t even examine me properly. Just smiled and said “Well… childbirth changes things.” Then she asked: “Is your husband complaining?” I said: “No. I’m complaining.” And she laughed like it was cute. Later another doctor finally checked me and said quietly: “You were stitched too tight.” They didn’t “fix” me for my comfort. They fixed me for a man’s.
