shortened vagina due to hysterectomy Posted: 01-31-08 20:13pm
Yes another question due to hysterectomy.
Uterus and cervix removed abdominally
close to 5mths ago. Can the length of the
vagina be stretched with dilators? How can
it penetrate thru stitched wall? Has
anyone used dilators and what was the
result? Sex hurts, like he's hitting a
brick wall!!

Have you spoken to your gynecologist about
this?

Yes, he suggested the dilators but
penetration isn't the problem. Not right
now anyway. I did order the dilators and
e-mailed the company to the problem and
they said yes it can be done, but to speak
to my MD. Right now however, I think I'm
getting ready to find a new OBG doctor. I
really don't like this doctor. I don't
trust him. During my last examine (have
been a number of times due to various
problems) I specifically asked if there
was a chance I could have cyctocele and or
rectocele. (Have had increased
contstipation) and he said he didn't see
anything but when I went to my primary MD
this wk the report he sent him said that I
had both. What's up with that? I don't
know whether to call him on this or just
go to another MD.

Sherrie Lee are you taking calcium? If
so, is it calcium with magnese? I had
constipation until I stopped taking my
calcium w/ vit D and I am trying to find
calcium with Magnese and vit D.

Calcium and magnesium Posted: 02-17-08 19:49pm
I take a multi-vitamin that has calcium
and I have found that calcium does
constipate me. My primary MD just sent me
for blood work to check my calcium level
due to it being low from the hysty
surgery. Yet another thing my obg MD
neglected to tell me. Does the magnesium
and vitamin D help with the constipation?
I'm always so afraid that I may be taking
to much since taking a multi. Guess I need
to wait for my blood work to come back
first though.
