Re: clitoral-hood adhesions/

[Guest guest]

Hi, ! I don't have any info regarding your

clitoral hood problem, but when I feel embarrassed

about telling a doctor something, I say to myself,

" This doctor has heard EVERYTHING. There is nothing I

can say that will shock her/him or that will make

her/him think I am weird. " I find it reassuring to

think that no matter what I have to say, they've

probably heard it before. Actually, that is one

(tiny) little side benefit of all this vulvar pain and

all those visits to various doctors, not to mention

reading the posts on this group. I am much less

inhibited in the way I speak to doctors now. I also

don't feel weird about having doctors I just met

examine my genitals! (I've had the same GYN for 22

years, so at first it was weird having a STRANGER

looking at me. <LOL>) I figure if they can't handle

what I have to say, or what they're going to see when

they examine me, that's THEIR problem.

I would think you could have that surgery at the same time and it would

probably be better for you then having two seperate surgerys. I am

supprised your doctor didnt mention it. However, have you tried using

estrace on the area? If not I would give that a try. Dee had a lot of

success with estrace when she had her labia fussed.

Hi,

It's good to have info from many women to see what's

normal and not. I think I have, and always had the

clitoral partially hood adhered. I haven't told the

doctor about it since I thouhg that was the way it

was, but some white stuff gets accumulated and I have

to clean it but it's hard because it gets stuck in the

edges where the hood is adhered. (Sorry, it seems like

I woke up today with an intention to gross you out! ).

Has anyone had an adhered hood " fixed " ? I was

wondering if I could get that done while I have my

vestibulectomy, or if it's asking for more pain! The

little part of the clitoris that is exposed is very

sensitive, almost painful. I don't know how I'm going

to get over my embarassment to tell my doctor.

Thanks for reading/listening
