WORTH IT
I've wanted this surgery for years but due to such a high cost and being a college student, I couldn't get it done. Also people would tell me it was "normal" and brush it off I still was persistent. Mostly because it would cause discomfort, tampon insertion and sex would be difficult, I couldn't even wear certain underwear (ex. fully lace thongs) because it would cling and cause inflammation and pain. I finally brought it up again to my obgyn and she had it covered by the insurance which I was thrilled about. It also bothered me self esteem wise too. I hated it so much it was hard for me to form relationships because I was always nervous of what someone might say when they would see it.
Well I had my surgery bright and early Friday morning 6/17/16 along with an Mirena IUD insertion. So far the pain has been okay, except for random spurts of intense cramping due to the IUD. Ive been icing it occasionally and cleansing it after every urination. I did have some minor bruising. But the swelling and some poking from the sutures is what has been bothering me the most. A lot of my swelling went down since then but now i feel the stitches more and I don't have my follow up till 7/8/16 so we shall see how things go from there! I have been having lots of discharge, which at first I thought yesterday was pus from an infection, but I'm having a hard time cleaning it off because I don't want to rub too hard and hurt it does any one have any ideas ? Ive been using warm water from the hand held shower head seems to somewhat take care of it. Im just really worried about getting an infection. I will keep you all posted for who ever would like to hear more along with photos!

There is this shaver that also has a trimmer attached to the bottom of the shaver. It's really good plus you don't actually have to shave it just tidies up the area
