Hi everyone
My heart goes to this poor woman, it sounds like an horrific
experience. Doesn't sound like the vacuum cup was on properly to cause
such extenseive injuries. As for the oestrogen levels, where I work,
women that have a 3rd degree tear are ordered Ovestin cream and
recommended to apply to the area inside and out to assist in the
healing....I don't understand why this could not be an option for her,
rather than weaning. Weaning sounds awfully drastic. I would suggest
she seeks a 2nd and 3rd opinion first. It sounds like she could be
clinging to the breastfeeding to try and have some normalcy to the
event....how cruel to take that away also.

Maybe I am being daft but what effect do lactational hormones have on
surgery? I would also suggest another opinion or 2 - perhaps to a
plastic
surgeon also.
