Surgery to refuse scar tissue? Experience?

UlliS

Has she described it as scarring or is it fusing?  I am concerned that I may be in the same position because tissue has fused so close to the clitoris and narrowed the opening to my vagina as well.  

I guess id consider any pain this could cause that Might not go away.

This is a difficult situation.

Scar tissue is inevitable if surgery is done wether there is tearing or cutting.  This has its own problems and may not solve the issue.  Would you consider a gentler approach?  If so buy yourself a dilation kit. (They can be found on line in the privacy of your home.) This kit contains  4 different  size dildo types in varying sizes from small to larger which are inserted into the vagina for short periods. Over time this will gently stretch the vaginal opening to allow comfortable penetration. I have personally used them with excellent results. This is a much more comfortable approach. If it does not work you can always have surgery or look for other options later. And it is relatively inexpensive.  Good luck. I'm a big proponent of enjoyable sex so hope you can get back in the game. Good luck. 

 

Hi I don't know about this procedure but I tore with the delivery of my babies and the gynie was under the impression that a tear heals better then a cut so may be this gynie is thinking along those lines.

I had a frozen shoulder a few years ago and it is hard to put into words how painful that is. The procedure for this is hospital admittance whereby they forcibly move the arm backwards and forwards to break down any stubborn tissue.  It is brutal, but it works.  So, I think your surgeon sounds like she has a plan, it makes sense to me, yes, of course, it sounds horrific, but you will feel nothing, you will be asleep.  I would try to relax about this, worrying changes nada, and I have a feeling this is going to work well for you.

Hi Ullis,

I have had a dilation procedure done about a year ago now.  Good result. ( I was totally fused up.)  After that I had to start dilating myself.  Gradually the vagina stretched far enough so that gentle intercourse is possible again.  It changed our life.  We didn't realize how much we had missed the intimite contact with each other.  

Being gentle remains important, regular dilation is still needed.  And lots of lubricant is very necessary.  

It might be that your doctor has something similar in mind.  As long as there is no knife involved.  

Wishing you well. 

Thank you very much for all helpful comments. I am almost certain that I will do it. For a while I have tried with dilators but this region has almost no elasticity so I think it will be very difficult to reach results in this gentle way. The doctor also informed me that it is no cure and that I have to work to keep it open after the procedure. I will keep you posted, it is still at least a couple of months away. In one way, I feel like I have nothing to loose but I am still a bit scared of complications like problems with healing or a bad flare up. But I will give it a try. Thanks again for your support! I feel much better now.

I've no experience
