Hi, I had my vaginoplasty by penile inversion method 5 months ago, looking here for ideas of what might be wrong with me. Those are my problems in case it sounds familiar to you:
- At month 2 I was doing better, barely had any discharge or pain and swelling was down. But then I started bleeding again and having a lot of yellowish discharge, usually very liquid but also like some kind of moccus. Sometimes there is also a green stain on my pads. Surgeon says its normal and not to worry.
- The swelling around the vaginal canal started getting worst and hurts for hours after dilating. I can't even run because I feel like I have a weighted ball hanging in there. Surgeon says its normal and not to worry.
- Then there is the blood. I not only bleed when dilating. Several drops of bright red blood come out whenever I sit down on the toilet, specially if I push, then its a blood stream. And sometimes I also bleed through the day. Surgeon says its normal and not to worry.
- And now I found out I have a pointy portion of reddish skin hanging in there and its starting to almost hang out of the vagina. A few months ago I could feel it with my finger in the inside but thought it was just the normal skin folds. But recently started feeling that skin spike being push in with my finger and then fall down along with it. I can even see it on the outside with a mirror. Surgeon says its a part of the internal skin of the labia majora and the skin didn't scar over it, that its something normal with a simple fix in a sort surgery and not to worry about it.
But Im in pain every day, I worry because it has been like this for months with no improvement, even getting worst and Im afraid I might have some kind of infection. Measured my vaginal pH and its between 9 and 10, which worries me. My surgeon never told me to douche, I just use soap on the outside and never clean the inside. I have been using the same lube (OptiLube) the whole time.
For the #4, the hanging skin thing, I had to insist my surgeon a lot to get that answer. I feel like he's just telling me whatever so I stop worrying and annoying him and Im afraid he is doing the same with every problem I have. First he said it was the urethral lining which is more red. I insisted on the hanging thing and sent a photo of the hanging bit. Then he said that the urethral thing was on the other side, that what he sees is a zone that got swollen due to dilatation because that zone is highly vascularized. I insisted that the skin is not on either side, that its hanging from the inside and sent a video of me moving it around. Then he said the labia majora thing I mentioned before.
