Hi I am Anniee, I had my Vulvectomy las Thursday. It's been fine expect the last 2 days it has been very sore. Is this to be expected?

  • Hi Anniee, sorry to hear you’ve had this problem. You probably have pain due to the hospital pain relief wearing off, I had this done in November last year and found that taking paracetamol every 4 hours helped. Don’t wait until you’re in pain as it’s hard to get the pain under control at that point. Also, if the pain doesn’t ease with paracetamol make sure you’re washing the area after using the toilet as this could ease it due to burning from the acid in urine. Hope you’re soon feeling better x

  • Thank you Debs 1311.  I will trybtaking pain killers more regularly.  Could you just advise me how long you took tp heal and feel some sort of normal again?
