Title: My first gynecologist experienced with trans who had srs surgery.
Post by: jojo702 on December 02, 2014, 08:05:57 PM
So today was a relief for me. My gynecologist visit went great and she is experienced with girls who had their srs done.

She checked my labia and was impressed that it was soft and everything was healing fine but the stitches have not yet been dissolved so she held back from prescribing me estrogen creme but did recommend I use neosporin for my stitches and also coconut oil to dilate.

She also told me that the reason I'm weak, dizzy, have hot flashes, and nauseated was due to menopause so she recommended I start taking a low dosage of my estrogen injection without progesterone and see how things go after a month.

She also tried to check inside my vagina but the speculum wouldn't go all the way in so she recommended I start moving up a wider dilator.

As for the uti I just had but now treated, if you notice any drying in the thighs or vagina area, you have an infection coming so get it checked asap.

So I don't know if anyone else uses coconut oil to dilate but just wanted to know how it feels.
