Life after VVS Surgery-My symptoms

[Guest guest]

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.

hi christina-- i think it's interesting that the pain you describe was

considered by your doc to be contact pain. my pain is similar to

yours, although it is constant to some degree. the pain is extremely

mild if i am not sitting or wearing tight clothing and increases

100-fold if i do either of those things. it takes about 2 hours of

sitting before it gets really excruciating. is this considered contact

pain?
