Attack of the Incredible Shrinking Vagina!!!

If there is anyone else out there struggling with radiation or surgical damage to their vajayjay would you PLEASE let me know any helpful tips. I am really having a hard time with the dilators and swelling and irritation. If my husband and I do manage to achieve penetration, I usually end up with a huge tear or raw spot on my vulva. The only lubricant that doesn't seem to irritate me is olive oil, but it stains everything and I end up smelling like a salad for the rest of the day. Am I the only one dealing with this? Also if anyone has a resource on a tasteful site where I can shop for vaginal dilators, I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to be bombarded with porn, I just want to be able to have intimacy in my life again. Thanks for your tips!

It was awful. Am not craving it in the least. I feel cheated by BS and chemo. They seem to have stolen that part of my life, too. My poor husband is being so patient. I feel bad for him and don't know what to do.; ▶ Reply to This

Have you spoken to a doctor about it?; ▶ Reply to This

Right now I just feel that my problems with pain are probably due to vaginal dryness, since the chemo seems to have dried up everything else. Hopefully, that is all it is and not a permanent thing.; ▶ Reply to This
