Title: Slit on labia.major.3weeks post op
Post by: lovelessheart on July 16, 2015, 09:23:33 PM
So ive had this issue once before. I have a slit on. Or where the stitchet busted open.on.the lower labia majora. The doctor had stitched it.up.a few days before leaving,, but.now.im.back.in.the usa . it once again has busted. Open. Will.this.eventually.heal? Has anyone. Had any rxperience with this what did u do? I decided to.go.down.to.the smallest dilater to.decrease stretching.so it will.heal.faster... Will this effect my width and using.bigger dilaters in.te near future?

Hi, of course all this varies between techniques, I had 2 spots where stitches pulled. I was able to go back and see my surgeon and he trimmed them, the one I had on the outer sort of bled from week 4 to week 5 (not a lot just fresh red spot on the pad always)

Your's is worse than mine I assume if you had to be restitched. I was told going down dilater is a not a good thing, stretching it a second time is far more difficult once your body has learn't it has a chance of winning. If it's only bleeding a bit I'd be dilating as normal.

That said, aside from having srs recently (8 weeks today yey) I don't know much about it.
