Title: Putting What This Feels Like Into Better Perspective
Post by: Kristyn on October 18, 2010, 12:47:42 PM
In previous posts I spoke of discomfort around the inner labia/clitoral area of which I thought were being caused by the sutures in that area.  Now I'm not so sure if it's the sutures which are the source of discomfort, but the healing of the clitoris itself.

Basically, what I am feeling now is something similar to the head of my penis being rubbed at the tip.  At the end, where the shaft would meet the body, it feels like a string or something is wrapped around that area and cutting off the circulation to the head of my penis, or like my foreskin is being retracted and pulled.  This, I'm taking, is probably where the clitoris has been attached underneath the hooding.  I feel like I am in a constant state of painful arousal.  When I stand and when I walk, that area swells and causes greater discomfort.

I took a look inside where the sutures are, and the area is bight red.  Currently, it is hard to bring my legs together when I walk and I feel as though I have a gaping space there--even though everything is closed together when my legs are together or when I am standing.

In that area, there is a small bit of pain which comes and goes and sometimes throbs.  It is not bad, only slight--probably due to healing.  I check these areas daily for changes in color and, so far, everything is good.  I'm not bleeding and there is not strange odors or discharges coming from inside.  So far so good.

Still, I really want these sutures to come out so my inner labia will open up and expose the hooding and clitoris.  Now I'm wondering, if it feels like the clitoris is being rubbed, how big did he make this thing?  I did tell him that I wanted him to make it bigger, but now I'm really curious.

Oh well, time for dilation number 2

Please go an see a Dr about this.

The redness indicates an inflamation.

It's not that type of redness.  It's healing flesh, much like you see in this photo

Thanks for your concern, though.  :)

Understand. I was more concerned about the throbbing.

You could try a cold pack. Some people use frozen peas wraped in a towel.

Thanks.   :)  Today the throbbing is gone.  Swelling is lower too!  Inner labia and hooding really starting to appear.  :)

That is excellent news.

So pleased you're begining to feel a bit better.

Sorry I may have over reacted. I tend to do that sometimes. I now realise you're chatting about the changes. But I am so very pleased for you. It wil be an exciting time, with so much to look forward to.

Thanks Spacial!  Your reaction only shows you care and there is nothing wrong with that.  :)

Changes are happening daily, sometimes more.  I still can't believe the depth of the bruising to the the tissues.  Even though my surface bruising has gone around my legs and lower abdomen, there is still swelling and bruising deep inside.  One day at a time with this stuff--these have been the longest 5 weeks of my life!
