Update on symptoms 5 months post treatment

Hey Squeak.... you know I'm a long way off from where you are yet, but just wondered if you've had that awkward 'chat' with the nurses during treatment? I've been told about these dilators that I will have to use post treatment to make sure my lady bits aren't atrophied have you used them already? Not sure if that has helped or would help with the issues you're having? It's horrible that you're still struggling months on like this. Not sure what the answer is.

Hi..

Yeah I can use the dilators no problem.. I bought my own as the hospital ones where plastic and not friendly

Im hoping on 1st July they tell me what the hell the pain is.. it feels like carpet burns on my new skin and just under my buttocks.  It's bloody annoying as I want to start living again xx

Bless ya.... I hope they can help. Maybe it will just take a little more healing time to get there xx

I am reading this with interest - I can't remember if I told you the first time we tried to have sex I was in a lot of pain and again the second time.  Off I went to the bathroom and did a self-exam with a mirror and the skin in my perineum had split.  We haven't tried since.  Obviously the skin is really fragile there and I wondered if it was because my burns were really bad.  I am always tender in the area and use a cushion in the car and have another indoors that I transfer from chair to chair.  I really hope the urogynae department can help, please share on here!
