I had Rectocele, and anterior repair 16 days ago. My concern is that on the second day after the sergery I was encourage to sit if I feel comfortable. I tried to sit a few time but the pulling pain was so strong. On the third day I wad discharged and on the 4th day I checked the stitches. I felt as the stitched area was swollen and I can see some of the stitches being visible.

My question is it possible that I damaged the stitched perineum due to pressure and sitting?

    I had rectocele repair two years ago (coincidentally I had anterior repair this week) and I could not sit comfortably on a chair for several weeks without lots of padding especially after sacro phinous fixation. I wore thick sanitary pads that made it more comfortable but recovery was slow. Please take it easy and rest as much as you can. I stayed swollen for some time.It was also very painful.
