Q: Disappearing Bits Down Below? Tmi?

I'd like to ask your advice/experience of something thats really been bothering me for ages now. About a year ago, I had noticed that my bits down there (clitoris, labia etc etc) seemed to be getting smaller & smaller. Hubby and I don't have a particularly 'active' sex life due to my being left disabled with my last pregnancy (I developed DSP, the more severe form of SPD during the pregnancy 5 yrs ago). As a result, I don;t know when this started to happen but I've a feeling that it's got something to do with the total hysterectomy that I had 3yrs ago (this was done in an attempt to sort the hormone side of my disability).
I finally plucked up the courage to ask my GP about it but as I can't be examined, she really didn't have a clue. Eventually, I was referred to a gynae and they gave me oestrogen (SP?) pessaries which I had been using for just under 6mths now.. Unfortunately there hasn't been any change though and if anything else it has become even smaller. Now, I don't know what the 'average' size is, but lets just say it wasn't difficult to find, especially when aroused (maybe pea size?) but now, it's almost inverted into the clitoral hood... Please don't laugh as this is really bothering me and I feel like a freak... Trying to have sex with my wonderful husband is difficult enough without throwing this into the mix too, and I'm only 35!!
Could anyone please, please help with this and give me advice on what to try?
Thanks for your time in reading this, I really do appreciate it.

Why couldn't you be examined?
As for this... it does sound as if it is related to the complications with your pregnancy; but I have no knowledge of this or the abbreviations you used for your conditions so I'm pretty much unhelpful.

HIYA - I WAS LOOKING UP PAIN AS AN SPD SUFFERER POST DELVERY......IT CLEARED UP AFTER 10-12 WEEKS BUT NOW I'VE STARTED THE PILL AGAIN I'VE DEVELOPED HIP PAIN 
I'M TAKING YASMIN, AS I'D READ ITS BEST FOR PMT/DEPRESSION/SIDE EFFECTS, AND HAVE ENDOMETRIOSIS BUT ITS NOT THAT KIND OF PAIN......ON MY 7 DAY BREAK THE HIP PAIN STOPS - I'M CONFUSED AS THOUGHT SPD RELATED PAIN WAS DUE TO PREGNANCY HORMONES AND ONCE NOT PREGNANT IT WOULD GRADUALLY GO - NOT RETURN TILL NEXT PREGNANCY OR HOPEFULLY EVER - BUT THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE????
I'VE ALSO NOTICED MY PRIVATE AREA REDUCING IN SIZE BUT BELIEVED IT WAS FROM ALL THE STICHES DOWN THERE AFTER THE VIOLENT EMERGENCY FORCEPS DELIVERY..I'VE IGNORED IT SOME WHAT AS BOTH BABY & ME HAVE BEEN SICK.......I'M WAITING TO SORT GYNAE APT....DID YOU SEE 1 RECENTLY AND ANY LUCK OR ADVICE OR INFORMATION?
