Really happy with the healing although I noticed about three days ago where I had caught a stitch there was a slight opening at the bottom of one of my labia where the labia had kind of come apart. And Iv had a look today and it's still the same! Will this stay like it? It's not bleeding but you can see the split and altho im keeping it clean I am worried about infection! Can't really see it in the photo but it opens and closes! Also the stitches are still there is this usual for almost three weeks post op?

I'm the same!! Must have caught a stitch in my sleep and after I had a bath it split!!!! Sent me into a right panic, I went to see the nurse who assured me its all fine. I have had showers since and tried not to look. I was told stitches dissolve at week three so nothing to worry about. Can you go and see the Dr or nurse to put your mind at rest? You look like you have healed well.

I didn't panic to much as I heard others have split stiches but I didn't realise the wound stayed open! Has yours healed or is it still open? It's only small but will be really noticeable if it stays like that and especially of it heals open which Iv heard can sometimes happen - think that's how the weird bumps appear! Iv not been bathing just showering and I wonder if that's why mine haven't dissolved? Iv asked to be booked in with the nurse next week but I'm hoping they dissolve before then!

After the bath whilst wet it was open. Its kind of fused back together now but I'm a bit worried what will happen when I have a bath again! Am also worried about the bumps but think these go down with time.

looking amazing, do you ever just look at your before picture and your current picture and smile? i already do haha .. your not even fully healed and you already look so amazing!

Ah that's so lovely thank-you Kate!! I'm four weeks tomo and so so happy! Still a little worried about the size of the cliteral hood and the labia majora - might get a reduction in the future but I'm so glad I went ahead with the surgery. You look very similar to what I did straight after surgery so I think you've made the right choice with the surgeon you went for!

1 week today!

Miss Sib
A lot of bleeding and pain yesterday, and am still bleeding today, bit worried as I need to make a long trip into town to go shopping and really don't want to make it worse.
Haven't really had much bleeding at all until now, so a little panicked as too why I'm now bleeding after a week? Think I tore a stitch in the shower the other day which might be making the bleeding worse? Any suggestions on what's happening or how I can help the bleeding/ healing will be much appreciated.

Staying off your feet is the only way to heal. Its probably the tore stitch so try not to panic too much. I would be leaving the shopping trip if I were you.

I only bled for a few days after my surgery. Since you are still bleeding a significant amount seven days post, I would contact your surgeon just to be on the safe side and ease your mind. otherwise it looks like you are healing well!

Rest is the best thing for you. Healing looks good so far x

Day 4- just noticed a stitch through my clit!!

Miss Sib
Day four and it's looking a lot better, swellings going down loads but iv realised why my clit has swollen and bruised so much- it's because a stich has been stapled through my clit, stapling it to my labia on one side (the side that is the most swollen amd brusied!! Am freaking a little, no wonder it has been so sore swollen and bruised, praying that when the stitch dissolves my clit doesn't stay attached to my labia?

I had my surgery yesterday with hood reduction and it feels so sensitive down there - im freaking out too!! Am praying clit isnt going to be exposed permanently!!
March 5, 2015
I reallllllly want a hood reduction! Think I'm gonna save up and have that and a labia majora reduction at the same time! Saw the nurse today and she said not to worry all should be fine so try not to worry, especially not until the swelling goes down! Today's only the first day and things look totally different down there for a good few weeks!
