Just wondering if any of you lovely ladies have experienced my dilemma...
I had anterior and posterior pelvic floor repair in 2005 at the age of 46, it took months post repair to feel comfortable with SI then a year later my partner and I split up. I steered clear of relationships to focus on my young sons. Last year I had sex again for the first time since 2007. I was very tight, which I wasn't surprised at but full penetration could not be achieved which I was shocked at, seems my vagina has shrunk due to lack of use with the repair and of course my age! (55) I have since seen a gynaecologist who prescribed steroid ointment for sore vulva with success but this doesn't help my sore vagina - there is no lack of moisture. When I was on HRT or vaginal oestrogens I became incredibly sore and stopped over a year ago. The soreness now comes and goes, I use eco, non bio detergents, steroid ointment for vulva alternate days and emulsifying ointment, a pelvic scan was clear and I am seeing the gynaecologist again soon but she thinks its vestibulitis which I am not so sure about as I can still ride a bike!
What has happened to me? I would love a sexual relationship but seems I have shrunk! I feel a freak and wish I has been warned of this post repair
