I was diagnosed with Vulval Cancer back in 2004, and back then there really wasn't a lot of info available about how deep it was (at least I couldn't find any) anyways, the after effects that I exp
ienced and still experiencing CHANGED MY LIFE ALL TOGETHER!! The Dr that I had did not educate me like i think he should've, and at that time I really didnt know what questions to ask.. but as far sex,, penetration is a NO!! When i did try to have sex 6 months after my surgery, I was so humiliated and embarrassed because I wasn't able to satisfy my partner.. I hadn't been offered reconstrucon surgery, dialators, or anything!! And through the years, it's left me with scar tissue.. I avoid trying to get in a relationship, because having sex is gonna come up sooner or later, and i dont he the energy to be trying to explain what's going on down there
Awwwwl 
thank you so much ma'am for the encouragement as well as a response.. it's taken me 21yrs to find a forum where i can speak about how that surgery affected me.. once again THANK YOU for taking thetime out to read my prior post.. ️

Bless you. On this forum we all support each other and know how this diagnosis and treatment affects us. The psychological effects are often more significant than the actual medical issues. I know that I feel less of a woman, both to look at and to feel. This issue isn’t really discussed in the hospital surroundings, but here we do discuss it.
As for your scar tissue, my surgeon suggested that I apply hydromel emollient a few times a day, this softens and moisturises, which makes me more comfortable. Please stay in touch. ️
