So the issue was scar tissue. That's what I attributed my pelvic pain to after my first childbirth, until a pelvic floor therapist diagnosed vaginismus instead. She assigned pelvic relaxation exercises that might have been adjacent to massage.
I just think the phrase "husband stitch" is reductive and fails to acknowledge the complexity of pelvic floor dysfunction and treatment.
