Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Hi, What kind of steriod are you using? I have Clob, but that is too strong, huh? What about just regular, OTC Hydrocortisone cream? I do have estrace, I used it for ~ 8 months and it did nothing, but it makes sense that it would help rebuild the tissue now. I have major fissures plus a hemmoroid. I didn't take care of my butt when I was on vaca, so I got fissures again. I'm using the estrace on that. Yesterday I started capsaicin treatments (again). Don't worry, not on the part that was cut, only above my urethra where it hurts. I tried it for ~ a week a few months ago, but wussied out. Question: is dilator therapy for stretching out the actual scar tissue on the skin or for the vaginal muscles? Love and Prayers, Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Ruth, The dialators are for the muscles that get further tightned during surgery as a protective response. I don't remember if you had your hymen removed or not, but if you did, you may be able to feel a ring around the area. I first thought that this was scar tissue, but no it was the muscle. The dialator therapy has helped streach that out some, but I am still very tense so I am going to go see a PT for biofeedback. The estrace will help alot with rebuilding your tissues. Meanwhile a steriod could help with inflammation and thick scar tissue. I would ask your doctor about it as he would know best, but right now I am using a med. grade steriod Betamethisone. I was using Temovate prior to surgery, but the doctor says it is too strong to use now. Bunny /| |\ . . ( ! ) From: nor_germ@...

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 Hi, Yes, I did have my hymen removed and there is a ring. It hurts so much to touch it, much less stretch it. Is that how yours was? Love, Ruth > Ruth, > > The dialators are for the muscles that get further tightned during surgery > as a protective response.
