pretz, was that the fentons procedure? that is what i am meant to have but i dont like the idea of it. i keep putting them off!
Hollo - Yes, it was the Fenton's Procedure. TBH I was very nervous about it too, especially knowing that I'd be having surgery on my vajayjay IYKWIM! lol But it was really not that bad at all. Mine was done under general anaesthesia and I was under for about 35 minutes due to having to make a deep cut to get all the scar tissue. My OB also injected me with some local anaesthesia after the procedure to help with the pain and I was in recovery for about an hour and a half after I woke up (I was exhausted as my baby didn't sleep well and I mentioned this to the nurse so they gave me an extra bit of "sleeping" time!) lol. I got to the hospital at 8:30am for admission and was discharged that arvo at 1:45pm. Pain wise afterwards was so much better than my recovery after the birth, but obviously the birth was different when I tore naturally (2nd degree tear - deep tear they told me, with 5 stitches) and had no pain relief at all during my labour (plus bub was born via ventouse suction (vacuum exctraction)).

My OB couldn't even do a proper examination when I went back to see him about it due to it being that painful before I had the procedure, but since having the procedure, DTD for me now is getting better and less painful, which is great, especially when wanting to TTC again later in the year.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to PM me if you like.

All the best!
