Heyyy everyone today marks 3 weeks since I had my Srs! I was wondering when did u start to feel normal like you were able to walk work and do normal everyday life things again! Also when did u stop having discharge that smelt like death 😭😭 I would love to wear shorts without bleeding and discharging all through it! And when did sleeping on your side begin to feel normal again
Discharge? 2 months. Physical activity 2.5 months. Sleeping on my side? 1 month.
Yessss that doesn’t seem to long for me to wait! 😭 I’m a week away from hitting a month and 5 weeks away from two months ( although everyone heals differently) I’m waiting on this so I can also wear clothes with getting discharge or blood or pain from wearing shorts or jeans or anything
It's isn't that long, it's the mental game that makes it feel longer. I had one or two breakdowns over how helpless I felt and needing help.
But I don't know what you're using now, but my discharge and bleeding was pretty bad for a while so I used like the heavy maxi overnight pads. They were enough to let me actually put clothes on. Couldn't wear jeans because I like slim fit, but made leggings work. So if you're only using thin liners try getting something a little more capable.
It’s crazy I thought I thought time would be slow but I’m legit 6 days away from being a month post op and ughhh... true the mental game is tough thank gosh I have my family who gets me out the house 🏡 when I dilate I hardly bleed on the pad anymore it’s more so discharge you know the yellowish one and for jeans I love skinny jeans so that’s alreDy a no right now I’m just wearing boy shorts or some biker shorts or leggings with thin liners although sometimes I leak through it 😭
I’m almost on the 3 months and i still have sone yellow discharge, but she don’t have smell anymore, if your surgeon its close to you i suggest u to ask if the smell its normal, mine was a little infection and like my surgery was in Thailand i had to find a doctor by here , so the gynecologist give me some metronidazole and the smell disappeared.... for sleep on the side i think you can start with a pillow on the middle of the legs, i started with 3 weeks too...jeans only after 3 months ...
Thank you! And I have kinda like a wound dehiscence kinda where my entrance is! But it doesn’t really hurt or burn anymore! I had a hybrid technique due to me being intersex but I’m gonna wait a little before I discuss this with my surgeon maybe two months post op I will since I’m still so fresh out of surgery
Ok, i have some granulation tissue at the entrance too it’s uncomfortable the dilation but its going fine..wound dehiscence i think its just let the time works and will be close
Yeah same I can tell mines are slowly healing because it’s starting to turn pink and look more like healed skin rather than the red skin ( which I still have some )
Yess its very normal...soon you’ll be able to make more things and each day is a new discovery
Thank you 🙏🏽

Yesss it’s just yellowish whiteish discharge! Nothing greenish or darkish discharge heyyy so maybe I’m okky then and it could possibly be I douche with warm water and baby soap and that helps I also wear my spouses boxers ( size xl ) since my underwear well boy shorts are a tad bit tighter you know and omg the struggle to sleeping on my side comfortably is hard and my spouse loves to cuddle sleeping side by side but it sometimes gets uncomfortable so I’m looking forward to being normal again

I try to not take any pain medicine only thing I take is 4mg estrogen and a docusate to help me use the bathroom other than that I occasionally take Advil or ibuprofen which has helped
6 Weeks sitting well, 2 Months Workouts (I am highly active) Sexual Activity (3 months)
Omg lucky I hope I can start sitting walking and sleeping normal real soon and sadly I don’t workout although maybe I should I feel fat sometimes lol and I’m gonna wait until Jan to have s*x I had surgery April 14
Walking, as soon as the packing came out, strength limited at first, maybe sometime end of second into third week more or less normal. Most everyday things I was doing at day 12-13 when I got home. But that said time was limited because of dilation. For work I was in the gym to get my strength back at week four and went back to work at full duty at nine weeks as planned. The discharge thing was somewhat complicated for me. At my four week follow-up I found out I had significant necrosis of the vaginal graph. That resulted in it taking about six months in to fully heal during which I had discharge for about five of those months. But the worst of it was in the first two months. As to sleeping in my side I was doing that in the hospital. I just kept a pillow between my legs. The pillow use lasted maybe three weeks.
that sounds soooo like soooo much! I don’t go back to work until July 14 which is my 3 months post op officially ( which I’ll still be dilating I believe 3x a day ) or I’ll be able to discuss this with my surgeon I’m still using the purple ( 5th dot with ease ) & blue ( 5th dot with some relaxation) so hopefully at month 3 I’m normal again without all that discharge and smelly weird stuff ( I douche with warm water & baby soap ) ughh I hope I’m normal before my birthday on July 4th 😭
Pleased with results thus far? Obviously aesthetics and pain-wise stuff sucks, but how u feeling to finally have it done? Any major complaints?
Yeah my doctor says my results pretty “ ideal “ and i have to get back to u on that! I wanna wait maybe 3 months and let everyone know and the complaints is maybe the smell it smells odd and also the pain and having to pee every like 2-3 hours
I'm just At 3 months, I started feeling better at about month 2, it was rough mentally and physically the first few weeks. Keep it up you got it ❤️ congrats!
Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m ready to be normal again sleep normal wear my clothes without feeling that weird odd pain and no blood and no smelly discharge 😭
