I had a tummy tuck in Texas in 2018 and had a terrible infection that had to be treated with an ointment from a compound pharmacy. And I noticed it took me 6 weeks to to recover when I was totally healthy and fit going into the surgery. I even prepped with vitamin supplements before and after. After the surgery I noticed that the area around the scar was numb but during my post ops the surgery told me that was normal and the feeling would come back. It never did, I also noticed that I could. Not feel anything during sex, so I got an ultrasound done at my obgyn and they said it looked like I had a c section surgery. 7 years later I still have no feeling in my vigina where he cut into. Can anything be done to fix what the surgeon did and what kind of doctor can help me? I am worried there could have been damage to my bladder and my intestines.
