Before I start I just want to say please do not comment saying “did you not have electrolysis etc before surgery”, yes I did, I had a lot of sessions and a follicular scrape but still have some regrowth inside me
I had my grs in December last year and I’ve unfortunately had hair regrowth inside my vagina despite having multiple electrolysis sessions and my surgeon telling me she would do a follicular scrape, it isn’t a lot of hair but again there is hair there, I’m just wondering what the best thing for me to do is? I havnt had any problems with the hair regrowth inside the vaginal canal, but I do want to sort this all out whilst I’m still young and so I won’t have to worry about this for the rest of my life.
I had an appointment with my surgeons lead nurse (last time I saw my surgeon was 5 days after my surgery in the hospital before I went home) I’ve since had 2 appointments at the clinic for checkups and again not seen my surgeon only her head nurse, but in my appointment nearly 2 weeks ago now I asked about my hair regrowth inside and the nurse said to put hair removal cream on my dilator and put it inside of me? I thought she was joking as it would obviously burn my insides? She then said I could just pluck the hairs out of their instead? But I don’t want to be dealing with that for the rest of my life? And also would like to add which I found a bit unprofessional on her end, after I suggested the colon revision she was against the colon revision and said a lot of surgeons don’t like doing that surgery and also asked me directly would I really want to walk around with a vagina to smell like poo? I thought that was very innapropriate and unprofessional on her end.
I had my GRS funded by the NHS here in the UK and I asked about a potential revision and the nurse said the GRDNN won’t fund a revision surgery for me? But yet they have funded one of my friends revision surgery for her scars, but yet won’t fund a revision surgery for me to redo my vaginal canal which to me is more of a actual threat? I felt a bit took back when the nurse told me that, as I pay a lot of tax every single year and the way I look at it as my tax goes towards the nhs I would’ve been funding myself?
Idk I just don’t know what to do so any advice is appreciated
Long story short: I have hair regrowth inside my vagina, yes I’ve had electrolysis etc but still have Regrowth. Nurse told me I can’t have a revision on the nhs and to dilate with hair removal cream, what do I do as I want to get this sorted whilst I’m young :)
