Title: Introduction!
Post by: Fannythefroggie on February 02, 2018, 08:56:50 AM
Hi all. Basics: 66, from the UK and living in France since 2006 with my female partner.

I had grs with Tim Terry in Leicester in 2001 and absolutely no problems since except that over the last couple of years I have developed a perineal hernia.
I saw a surgeon here yesterday who has proposed a procedure involving taking the gracilis muscle from one thigh to reinforce the perineal muscles and removing most of my vagina.
Well, as a 66 year old lesbian for whom sex is not the most important thing in the world and bearing in mind that my clit functions very well thank you, I am less worried about the loss of most of my vagina than my partner who knows what I went through to get it in the first place!

So, I'm basically asking if anyone here has had experience of a perineal hernia and with what outcome?

Hello Fannythefroggie, welcome to Susan's!

Sorry to hear about your medical issue - perineal hernia - and I admire you are handling this so well.  I don't have any suggestions on that specific issue, but you may want to post to the Post Operative Life forum (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,43.0.html) in case others may have similar experiences.

In my opinion you are young at 66.  With advances in medical technology and careful health decisions, I wish you many years of continued adventures.  Glad you're here, and looking forward to seeing you around Susan's.

Welcome!

Kendra
