Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 Well, I' think you'd want to know the name of the surgery so that you could do all the research on the success and failure rates of the surgery, as well as when it is absolutely necessary. Personally, I would also want to know what my diagnosis is so that I could investigate all the treatments being tried for my condtion and whether or not I had tried them all. Once the skin is cut away - you can't put it back if you are worse off...... so knowledge about your condition and its treatment seem to be of the first order. How long did you try the 'cream' and what was the 'cream'. Most things tried are not overnight successes. They require patience and perserverance and rarely does one thing along do the job. Most of who who have gotten better require more than one 'method'. For example in my case, I needed physical therapy for pelvic floor issues (vaginismus, etc.), I needed hormones because my body was plumb out, I needed my hypothyroid adjusted with meds, I needed allergy treatment (i.e. avoidance of chemicals which were aggravating my vulvar skin, and I needed to work on strenghtening my immune system through diet and excercise. I tried many creams and such before finding what worked for me - and it is a very slow process but is entirely possible.

I just saw the doc again this week. The cream didnt' work, so he's putting me on oral Amitripteline... or whatever it's called. He also said that I'm a great candidate for the surgery ... vestibulectomy or something... i honestly can't remember the name. Has anyone had this? Anything I should know about before I make the decision as to have the surgery or not? He said I'd know within 3 months if it had been cured... which would be great. I am going to let him know whatever my decision is by April 24. ~ ~ Relax. Yahoo! Mail virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses! Quote
