I had a radical vulvectomy in June 2023 and still have discomfort when sitting, walking and patting dry. Have any of you ladies got these problems and, if so, what do you do to make things easier. Do you shave or trim your hairs in the area? I cannot really see what is going on, unless I use a mirror. I do apply hydromol to moisturise, on advice of my surgeon. I still have to sit on a cushion to make it more comfortable.
I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
