For those following my MLT " journey " ( hate that word however ) had my 4th today. For those that have read my other posts the first was very painful ( as skin so atrophied ) this time 75% less painful.
I didn't need it internally as its done it's job in there , I have women's health physio and she is amazed internally as she said it's that of a women in her 20s ,very plump , she can glide when she does her internal work , and everything has had a slight lift, there is stretch and bounce internally which has lengthened my pelvic floor , as it was becoming tight and contracted.
Externally it looks very good ( still a patchwork quilt from scar tissue but it has elasticity to it ) , the scars had more zapping today as did the vestibule, and down to the anus following the scars , as I have them left , right and central line to the anus 😳.
TMLT has enabled the local oestrogen to work far more efficiently now the collegian has been restored , so I still have the estring in and externally I rub estriol cream into the scar tissue and vestibule , introitus twice aday ( my normal gynae and MLT gynae say this is absolutely fine).
It has tightened the entrance up slightly , but as it has bounce and stretch back then that's fine.
I can have sex now ( gently steady eddy ) but I'm not in agony afterwards.
It's proving very successful treatment for Lichen Scerlosis , sceladerma , and some other vulva skin conditions NOT Lichen Planus, for ladies after chemo it's also helping many hugely.
I will have a 5th in 6 weeks , and from then on it will be one zapping every year to eighteen months.
Obviously this is my experience, I had come to the end of the road re VA....and if tempted do,your own research , I am happy to say who I see if you message me ( although if you search it's somewhere 😉 ) , she is cheaper than many ( although still a lot of money ) but shrowds don't have pockets.
I am NOT cured I am managed , also a tip maybe ( non medical disclaimer etc etc ) the skin between my inner / outer labia can really itch .....manuka honey 10+ has stopped it dead , been using it for three weeks , told MLT gynae today and she said makes perfect sense.
Also I have started a secret vaginal atrophy face book page , it can't be found ......so anyone who wants to join message me.
I just put up all the info I can find re VA , it's very new ( only about 25 ) as don't want to clog up here , and for those ladies who prefer FB. 😊 There's also a video on there and two other groups of me talking about my VA journey , which has been well received.
So see if the treatment can sort out the last bits and see what I am left with , regards nerve damage.
