Hi, I have been diagnosed with VIN stage 3 and am booked in for a wide local excision at the beginning of March, there is a fairly large area across my perineum and the rear of my vagina.

I know everyone is different but I was wondering how long people have taken to heal? I don't know how long to take off work? I work in an office so not physical job but would a couple of days be enough? Also how long do you think I will have to stay off exercise? I don't do masses but a couple of circuit style classes a week and swimming. 

As I say I know everyone is different and they are other things that affect the healing but I was just after a rough idea because I don't have a clue!

Thank you very much. 

  • hi I've just joined after biopsies showed vinn 3 on my perineum and vin 2 on the opening of my vagina I have got to have wle surgery I'm a bit panicked as the gynecologist didn't want to at first do any surgery as I have a small perineum when I signed my consent form I notice on the risks part it said about blood transfusion and for the colonagist to be aware now frightened my self looking on the internet let alone never had general anaesthetic before just wondered if you had similar experience or any advice
