RE: Life after VVS Surgery-My symptoms

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I don’t know what my symptoms were for LS. Dr.

just said I had it. She said she saw some white streaks, but I never saw any. I

never had any itching. Two weeks ago (before I had surgery) she said she saw

some “active” around the clitoris, but I didn’t see any. I

attributed some of my vulvar pain to the LS. But now I don’t think that

is true. I am going to try and see another doctor for a second opinion.

It sounds like my VV/VVS was different than yours. I could not sit (but

this was PN), I could not touch any vulvar/perineum/anal area, or wear any

bottom clothing. My pain was definitely surface nerve pain generated by the

pudendal nerve. Penetration was stabbing pain.

Surgery-My symptoms

Before my surgery I had mostly pain on contact.

However after intercourse I was in serious pain for a good week (constant

burning and sometimes some tearing). Tward the end just before the

procedure I still had what my doctor considered contact only pain, but I could

no longer have sex at all or wear tight clothing. It was often easier to

go without underwear. Sitting for long periods was unbearable. On

and off I had discomfort and itching and some burning that I would have

sworn was a yeast infection or a bacterial infection (in fact I was

treated for 2 years prior to this for chronic yeast and beta strep which made

my condition twice as bad since this was not the problem). I know now

that this part was the LS. The stabbing pain I always had with

penetration was definatly my VVS.
