Hi, I have been to see a lovely uro/gynae last week for a second opinion. The first one last year said there was basically nothing wrong, just rather tight vagina and dry, looked abit sore made me feel like I was imagining it. So found this forum, researched who I hoped would be good for me. She specialises in prolapses, menopause, pelvic pain etc.
Well I have three prolapses, Litchen Scolosis and VA. She is sending me to a specialist physio on Tuesday, for " point of release massage " and pelvic floor exercise, put me on a course of "Clobetasol" for the LS and Ovestin nightly for eight weeks and then reducing it to twice a week, I asked her if this would be a temporary treatment with the Ovestin and she said she felt I would be on it for life. She did a vaginal swab to check for any infections , as she said it is easy to overlook the obvious and did a transvaginal scan to check everything was fine.
She will do a biopsy also of the LS. I am feeling a little blue I guess as I have never been on the pill, smoked, no antibiotics for twenty plus years,exercise well, eat well and I feel I am falling at the first hurdle with taking the Ovestin, but the uncomfortable Urethra and general low key soreness is a bore.
She only does surgery if it's really necessary regards the prolapses, and never has and never will use mesh, so I feel confident with her, and her passing words to me where " just because one route doesn't work, it doesn't mean we don't keep trying until we find something that does"
My only slight worry is I have to use Ovestin nightly for eight weeks, when all you ladies say two weeks.
I took a photograph of my Vagina on my ipad so I could point to exactly what was bothering me, she then got a cotton bud and touched these areas and I was hyper sensitive she said my Vulva was a typically " atrophied " and raw. Thanks for reading.
