Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 I had the surgery done in August, but it did not help. I actually had more problems after the surgery. Before the surgery it was only with contact, but after I had constant itching and burning. Suma is what has seemed to help alot. I may be cured, but I haven't tested that yet. It just does not look like I am going to be able to stop the suma. --- renwa15 wrote: > Hello everyone, > I am not considering surgery at the moment, but > would like to hear > from anyone who has vestibulitis who has had a > vulvar vestibulectomy. > My doctor is Dr. in Boston and she > performs the > surgery.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 I have vestibulitis and they did a vestibulectomy. Suma is an herb (brazilian ginsing) and it has helped with the vestibulitis almost completely. I don't have very many problems anymore as long as I take it everyday. --- rtwall15@... wrote: > What was your diagnosis and exactly what type of > surgery did you have?

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 So can you have intercourse pain free now? And to you think it's from the Suma alone? Sorry so many questions!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Hi there , I cant tell if you are talking to me again, or one of the other gals who had surgery. I'll answer anyways. Suma is a natural herb with androgenic effects. Some of the women have had luck with this because it helps bring up there testosterone. For some women, especially menopausal women this can be a big help along with estrogen replacement. There may be more too it then that, but I have never taken suma so I am not sure. One of the other gals online hear could probably help you with that one. I had a compleate vulvar vestibulectomy with vaginal advancement and a perinial skin tuck graft. From what I have read, this is one of the most invasive procedures, but I felt that it was the best procedure for me as I have had it for so long. All of the vestibulary glands and the bartholin glands were removed all the way to the root. I also had fibromas and scar tissue around and attatched to the glands that was removed also. A graft was made at the perinium to help prevent further fissuring with intercourse. They took the tissue from inbetween anus and vaginal opening and made a graft by cutting underneath and tucking it up into the vulvar area. My hymen was also removed. It took me 8 weeks to recover enough to go back to work. It took me 5 weeks to sit up properly. Most women recover quicker though, I had a lot removed. Bunny From: rtwall15@... What was your diagnosis and exactly what type of surgery did you have? Also, what is suma and what does it help with? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
