Biopsy after care
Posted , 11 users are following.
had my biopsies on Monday and labia fusion separated, feeling very sore, as expected, and stinging when peeing. I have used Epsom salts in bath which eases for a while and aqueous cream to cleanse with. I have also had Instillagel from the hospital and oramorph if the pain gets too bad.
any other things I could do/use to help with soreness and healing.

I didn't know they would separate the fusion. It won't stop the
LS will it?

me last time, but didn't have fusion then. I am very worried that it could re-fuse. I was starting to have trouble with peeing, it was dribbling after a pee.
anything you can suggest would be greatly appreciated

Some blood coming at first is normal. No baths, I was told, till the bleeding stops. And unfortunately at first it is painful to pee. Not wanting any infections I started using baking soda (three pinches or more) with the warm water in the spray bottle that was supplied. (the baking soda was an old remedie my mother used) This I still do after every bathroom visit. I noticed that it helped in more than one way. For some reason the LS stopt being so vicious. Which was helpful with the healing process. With that I used some oil, trial and error. The most successful I was with coconut oil, although it stings a bit at first, it seems a good combination with the baking soda. That one stitch will eventually dissolve, but will also give discomfort for a while.
First some healing has to happen before you can go to the next step. Keep observing the area closely. My specialist explained how I could make myself a simple dilation tool - small candle with a condom over it. The advantage is that the condom already has some lubrication. Since at first the opening was so small I could not use anything bigger than a birthday candle at first. Most important in this is that the layers heal separately. A task and a half, since at first I was doing this at least six times a day. Three weeks later now, I have been able to reduce this to three times a day.
Since I was running out of candles the right size, I have, via Amazon,ordered a dilator set. Using the smaller sizes. To my amazement I read on the instruction sheet that this dilator set is also used for people with LS. Who would know.
So far so good. I'm three weeks in now and I can pee like any ordinary person and that is sheer delight.
Next to all this I still do the hormone replacement (not Premarin since I was swelling up from this and that closed my small opening one day, brrr. ) I use Bi-Est. And I use still a small amount of the clobetasol ointment. The tiniest amount.
I'm not sure I have told all in the best way, so someone else can understand. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
