I had a Fenton's Procedure done three days ago and just wondered if anyone else out there is recovering too at the mo? I am fed up of feeling sore and not being able to get in a comfortable position! DP has gone away for the weekend as well so am left to try and amuse 4mo dd when I cant get down to the floor! I have noticed other threads on this topic before - some people seem to have had no pain afterwards at all. Not the case for me I'm afraid. Just as painful as after having dd.

hey, i had fentons last tuesday!! how are you feeling now?

mine devastates me to look at.. i liked the way i looked down there before, and hope i havnt replaced one scar with a whole lot more.

it kinda looks like there is a raised bit don the midline of the perineum. my surgeons nurse assured me i will be fine and it was done deliberately, and ive only been recovering a week, so give it time.

i wonder if i rushed into the surgery unnessasarily..

my babys only 7 months old and i was still breatfeeding. ive since found out that that can cause pain in the vagina/ perineum.
