My SRS in next week

[zlobnica]

Where y'all using the vaginal douche? On toilet? I can't use it on a toilet because the water does not come in the vagina.the inside vagina already smells terribly.

Shower for me. Typically every other day.

+1 for shower

The first few months after surgery it was nearly every day then changed to once a week and finally as needed which for me is 1-2 times a month.

[zlobnica]

Thanks, but how shower? Please explain me how... I would like to be sure and careful.

My surgeon gave me something similar to this:



Except the hose was brownish red. You can find it on Amazon by searching for "douche syringe". (I can't put a direct link per forum rules.)

It says it's disposable and for anal use, but can be safely used multiple times for vaginal use ONLY since it's NOT being used anally.

Just draw the solution (I use 1 Tablespoon white distilled vinegar to 1 cup tap water) in the syringe (you can save unused until later) and lubricate the tip with a water-based lubricant, insert in the vagina and push the plunger flushing out your vagina. If the fluid comes out stinky or non-clear, you might need to repeat again, but I've never had to repeat it the same day.

Thank you! It's good idea!

Now I feel somehow hard muscle around the clitoris.. I hope it's ok?

[zlobnica]

Soon will be a two month post-op. Dilation is ok. But sleep is very terrible. I'm feel so uncomfortable because of pain muscles around genital area.
I wonder in how much time did y'all finally sleep normally?

[Dorit]

At three months I finally began to feel that I was really healing.   I am now two weeks past that and sleep much better and can sit without my special pillow.    However, I still have swelling and easily wet myself when I urinate.   My surgeon keeps reminding me that it takes a year to experience complete healing!   Patience, and then more patience.

You're right. For now it's getting better. As you said patience and then more patience:)
Now im on #3 dilation yay!!! I did it! I was so afraid lol.  But I wonder... do we really have to dilate for the rest of our lives? Because of vaginal canal collapse, but I can't imagine that I have to dilate, let's say, at age of 80?! I can't imagine this.

And question for Chet girls, Did you reduce time too? Let's say from 2.5 hours a day to 2 hours a day? everything was OK?

[Dena]

If you want to be ready for sex, you will have to dilate or have sex for the rest of you life. After a few years it's possible to stop dilating but it will take a few months to get things back the way they should be. I went 10 years without dilating and there are posts where people had undersize partners but by returning to dilating they were able to regain their original size.

Well, that sounds better. Thanks. What about cream removal scars? Which cream is the best?
Is also recommended a scar massage with vitamin E?

[zlobnica]

I'm deciding between Dermatix gel and Newgel+E. I have experience with Dermatix and it's really good but the pictures also show that Newgel + E fade away scars very well.

Zlobnica, the scars will fade away regardless of the creams used. I personally believe that those creams don't do anything. My SRS scars are invisible without any treatment. I also used Dr Ch.

Wou I'm glad to hear that. Which lubricant do you use? Maybe K-Y gel? And what's your schedule of dilation? Maybe 2 times a day? Thanks:)

[reborn]

I had my srs in 2010. I dilate very sometimes. I have regular sex. At this stage every lubricant does it. I buy durex it is available everywhere...

Oh well then. I saw that I had some hair in the vaginal opening, can this be removed by a laser? Have cis women also hair in the vaginal opening?

[AnonyMs]

I've heard of hair in the vulva being removed by electrolysis. Not sure laser would be good in there.

Yeah but they said that electrolysis wouldn't help for vaginal canal, but for vaginal opening I don't know...

[AnonyMs]

I mean at the opening. Inside, but where you can reach it. I've seen women write about doing it.

The problem when its deep is that its very difficult for the probe to get inside to do the work,

[reborn]

my experience with laser hair removal is poor. I am not saying it doesn't work but it is less effective over electrolysis. I would try electro
