Hey all. I have a question I'm 15 months post op ppv and I feel like I've lost any natural wetness/lube compared to how I was 3 months post op
Has anyone experienced this and or has anyone restored the natural wetness provided by having had a ppv/ppt procedure?
For context I had to use a steroid creme to help heal a wound separation
You're not alone; I also struggle with a lack of any natural lubrication. I had vaginoplasty through NYU with Dr. RBL and Zhao, and I had come to expect at least a little bit of natural lubrication. It's not exactly rough and dry, but there's certainly not an appreciable amount of moisture, either.
Think of the inside of a tacky dry mouth, for comparison.
In my experience, using a bit of lubricant with my finger will keep things moist for an extended period throughout the day.
I have zero regrets about the surgery or my choice of surgeon whatsoever, but it's hard not to be a little disappointed, when I read about others who complain about borderline "too much" natural lubrication.
Is your technique full-length peritoneal lining or hybrid between peritoneal ritoneal and skin-graft?
Hybrid technique
Who was your surgeon?
Keiran Hart
It looks like he does a PIV/PPT hybrid
Did he say how much he uses of each?
Mostly piv I think I can get to the third/ fourth dot on the orange dialator
PPV wetness goes down over time and PIV is known for being a bit dry
He may not have used enough peritoneal tissue
To be fair I feel like I lost a bit if depth after I went back to work after three months a d I was struggling to find the time to dialate regularly so that may have impacted it
