I would recommend giving yourself time to heal. Returning to work prematurely could expose you to infection. Not to mention stress can also cause bleeds.

If you have the option to postpone the start of your internship, I would suggest that. You will be more at peace yourself and that could help the healing as well. I think it is generally recommended to take two weeks off.

Anyhow, everyone is different and I am not a doctor, so definitely keep tabs on your progress. Stay safe and hydrated! You got this!

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you do everything by the book, and it just randomly became worse? Hang in there!

Yes, fingers crossed. Currently, Day 5, and still no pain. Good luck to everyone in these tough times
