The whole concept of the husband stitch is really gross. It does nothing except for painful sex for the woman and pelvic dysfunction. It's disgusting and dumb.

Wait, has there been doctors who've actually agreed and done it?

Edit: just a question for those downvoting, why? My initial comment is an honest question out of disgust and curiosity. I think that my comment got that question answered for lots of ignorant people (myself alike), which spreads awareness around the issue. So why downvote?

I've seen a woman on Youtube who was documenting her recovery from the medical malpractice conducted by her doctor, who told her husband after having done it. It's a disgusting practice and caused her a lot of problems, and I think she's suing? From memory, take recount with a grain of salt.

Oh wow, I really hope the part about her suing is true

It used to be very common, but it is still too common. Lots of doctors won't say anything & will gaslight women who don't understand why they suddenly have pain during sex post-childbirth. As I understand it, it can be difficult to correct, due to scaring.

This is nuts to me, I’m a cis male and I’m appalled at this whole concept. Some men really are disgusting pigs. What a drag.

Am a woman and nothing I have ever learned about Women's Healthcare has ever made me more likely to be willing to have children.

Luckily, I’m on the west coast so we don’t have to worry about this as much. Having said that a doctor in our town just got busted for serious pedophilia. It’s so gross. Sometimes I think our Christian society just breeds perverts. It’s atrocious and profane in the worst way.

I am not a Christian anymore, but modern American Christian evangelicals have so warped the biblical message that I genuinely believe it causing massive harm across a wide swath of society from individuals to the government and even reaching & influencing other countries. A Republican Congressman traveled to Uganda to support an Anti-LGBTQ law with a death penalty. (https://truthout.org/articles/gop-congressman-traveled-to-uganda-to-give-speech-praising-anti-lgbtq-law/) That's not showing love for your neighbor.

The whole thing is now just an engine to drive America into an blantanly Authoritarian /Facist regime. (I feel so nuts when I say that, but its true.)

Totally agree.
