    Have you been overdoing things lee?  I think you need to probably rest more, no lifting and as soon as you feel tired stop what you are doing. Everyone recovers at different rates but for the first 6 weeks you need to take things easy and just gradually build up your exercise.

      You can get a bit whiffy down below. Try using a feminine was that's gynaecologically tested like Lactyacid or Femfresh from the chemist. It will go though it's just residue from the operation x
