I'm 10 weeks on from having three quarters of my vagina removed and have had internal and external reconstruction. This was for colon cancer, the tumours had attached themselves to my vagina wall. (I'm a bit of a complicated case as I don't have my colon!).
Anyway I wanted to see if anyone has had reconstruction and how they have managed to get on with having full intercourse. I know I'm a long way off even physically and mentally contemplating it yet. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi Blackswan,
I’m sorry to hear of your cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately I can’t answer your question around being able to have intercourse after a vaginal reconstruction, as my experience has been different to yours. I wonder whether you may find the Vaginal cancer forum helpful. It may be that someone on there may have experience of a vaginal reconstruction and could answer your question. There is also the option to ask a nurse, which you can do by clicking here.
Sorry I couldn’t help you personally, but hopefully someone with personal experience will be along soon.
