Hi, sorry in advance for the tmi! I’m just wondering if anyone’s had a similar experience. I had a radical hysterectomy (ovaries and nodes removed too) in September 25 and recently had sex for the first time since - I’d got myself stressed about it and avoided for so long. I had very little sensation (none really), could just feel pressure like when you have a numbing injection and can feel pressure but nothing else. I am numb both externally and internally. The only thing I felt was pain in one spot during penetration - was no dryness.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did sensation come back over time?
I’d psyched myself up so much and now devastated the only thing I felt was pain. I’m 39 and on HRT.
Thank you
