Vaginal hysterectomy - recovery issues

3 replies

Had vaginal hysterectomy in Nov. 2018, - AGE 53 - complex issues with endometriosis and being intersex.

All ok (ish) still experiencing discharge and not great with having to cope with the pads etc.

Issue is vaginal dryness - which I have never really experienced before - do not need for sexual issues, but the dryness is causing irritation -

Has anyone recommendations for treatments or diet changes - as I sense this is not going to get better, not on HRT at moment, and due to complex medical issues i would prefer not to have to go down that route -

Also, and I can't seem to edit the original post, I have sadly been lactating - which again is unusual for me, I have never been pregnant - am intersex and first time ever that i have lactated this badly

Hysterectomy (vaginal) in Nov 18, NO HRT, - But endometriosis - NO Menstrual cycle - how is this possible ? should i be concerned ?

I find ‘Yes’ vaginal moisturiser to be very helpful and you can get it on prescription. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Thanks for recommendation, have asked GP surgery if GP can do prescription without me having to see DR -

Appreciate ur advice and kind words x
