Successful surgery!

I had my 6 week postop appointment today, he said that everything looked good and now I just need to use some dialators and physical therapy and I would be good to go! I am so excited as I had been freaking out that the surgery didn't work. I didn't realize that my muscles were still sore, but at least that is something that can be worked on, so it's a much more positive prognosis. I am so excited to get my life back. If any of you are questioning or faced with surgery I will be happy to answer any of your questions. Hope everyone gets to feeling better soon

After three years of constant pain with HPN. Vulvadynia, My Doctor wants to cut out the nerve. it is on the outside, where I would get herpes. Same place all the time.
Have not had outbreak for three years since I am on 800 mg per day of antivirual.
Plus Lyrica, Plus, all kinds of shots down there. Very scared of surgery to make it even worse. Has anyone had the surgery on the outside near entrance.
Thank you very much.

That's where mine was but I don't have herpes. If it's for vulvodynia my surgery was successful

Thank you . MY never damage was caused by herpes. But they do call the after effects vulvodynia. or HPN. Did they remove any nerves in you surgery. How long did it take you to heal, how much pain was invovled after surgery. Thank You very much

I have questions for both of you. What is the surgery called? I was told that they have a few surgeries that they can do, one is to cut out the vulva skin and pull up the good skin and stitch it or remove the nerves. I have Lichen Simplex Chronicus Vulva which is the thickening of the vulva skin because of this my nerves are very pissed off and the burning pain has spread to my butt and inner thighs. Was yours anything like this? Also, to chiliJackie, I didn't have herpes but I did have vaginal warts that was on my vulva and the Dr. froze them off. It took her like three times to do it and the last time I asked her to freeze them deep, just to make sure she got them all. This was about 12 yrs ago and it has left scars. Did your herpes leave any scars? I have always wondered if the freezing and scaring is why I got this horrible thing. I was also wondering, you said that you had gotten shots on your private area, what kind of shots were they? Ive been having procedures done around my tail bone area and so far they have failed. They were trying to burn the nerves in that area. But if they could burn the nerves through my vulva area, I would be happy as Hell. Nobody has suggested it. Im on Lyrica as well and it sucks because it doesnt work but it messes up my head and I can't think clearly. I am getting pissed off about this entire friggin thing. 2 years of constant pain and Im thinking about getting it cut out, prob. the nerves. I would be happy if they would just cut entire vagina out and sew the damn thing up.

Sorry, Im in a very crabby mood today. Constant pain, Bipolar, peri menopausal and my hair is falling out in hand fulls, will cause anyone to be crabby.

I got a vestibulectomy. nothing what you have. Where are you our doc deals with ls I got the surgery you described.

HI. My herpes simplex 2. One blister only 2010 . When it healed completly in 10 days.
It does not leave any scares or anything that you can see with the eye. I was left with a nerve ending that will not stop screaming at me. The shots were cortisone, and what ever else he put in them. I did have more pain after the shots, and also was black and blue all the way to my butt hole. It was not pretty and hurt like hell. The shots have also brought the nerve to the surface so you can now feel a lump where before it was only pain. I was told botox would not work for me if though muscle spasms do not help the nerve. I am only on 50mg of Lyrica. My doctor wanted me to start at 150 mg. I could not even talk or walk on that amount, tried it for four days, then dropped to 50mg. Which I can tolerate. I guess I do not realize how foggy my head is. I will probably have the surgery. My Doctor is well know and trusted. It took alot to find him.
He does call vuvaldyniia what I have but also calls it HPN since it was caused by the herpes to start. Any thing you want to know, just ask.
