Honestly, how bad does it hurt?
I received a message from a sweet young girl who for good reason, is scared to death. Her situation was much like mine was pre-op. She's much more fortunate though as she is only 18 and will not have to endure as many years of struggling with the side effects of larger than large labia. BUT in all honesty, everyone's pain level and tolerance different. I considered myself a sissy to pain. I don't have the advantage of the "If you've ever gone into labor, you can handle anything" rule because I haven't been blessed with children yet. Even the tiniest of pain was torture for me. BUT from my recovery experience, I can tell you what has been way more painful for me than labiaplasty...
1. CONSTIPATION
2. Migraines
3. PMS
4. Biting your tongue
4. My current sore throat!
All of this is from my personal experience with my own pain threshold. I did have a couple of stitches pop lose and did have the beginning stages of labia infection which were not comfortable BUT I still feel like the list above was more painful! It may also help to know which type of pain medication works best for you. For me, Lortab is a joke. Percocet, however will get the job done every time and in this case, I only had to take 1/4 of the recommended dosage 2 to 3 times a day rather than every 4-6 hrs.

3 Weeks Post-Op
Thrilled! Had a follow-up with the surgeon yesterday and he is very happy with the healing process at this point. Very little pain or discomfort. If I can go without undies, I do. The more it breathes, the more comfortable I am. Can't wait for the end results!
Pain Meds and Constipation....
I forgot to tell everyone... I had forgotten all about how badly pain Meds dehydrate you. Make sure to ask your Dr. what to take i.e. laxative, stool softener, etc... and DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE IT! I totally forgot and on day 4 Post-Op, I was about to explode! It was like squeezing a concrete baseball through a PVC pipe and i actually strained so hard I popped a stitch! At my 1 week Dr's visit, the Dr. told me to mix a full dose of the unflavored Miralax powder into water or juice once a day to keep everything regular and if that didn't work after a couple of days, just double the dose until I was regular again. Unfortunately, I was so backed up, I had to have an enema (Ugh!) before the Miralax started working. Just wanted to let everyone know so you don't run into the same problem. Just make sure to ask your Dr. first. Hope this helps!
Provider Review
Dr. Chaundry
Made me feel extremely comfortable and confident in his abilities during pre op exam. Thoroughly discussed the procedure, expectations, concerns, etc. Met with me the morning of the procedure to go over everything again. Called the next day to check on me. Dr. Chaundhry
