4 Babies, One Busted Vagina
I am a mother of 4 natural births, and 41. I had a repair done by an expert in the field a few years ago, but was still left with vaginal laxity and a pointless sex life for my husband and I, and tampons that fell out. I felt horrible about myself. You hear all about viagra and mens sexual issues…but not much about or for women.
I started my search because I didn’t want to spend my next 40 years with what I felt was a broken vagina.
I read tons of reviews of Dr.Pelosi. Had a consult. Felt very comfortable. Booked my procedure.
Dr Pelosi is easy to talk to, and pleasant (I have found that many surgeons lack in the personality department…lol as both a nurse in my professional life, and as someone who has had prior cosmetic procedures). They either have the personality of a rock, or are ego maniacs most of the time. Dr. Pelosi kills it in that department. He’s really a great guy, honest, justifiably confident, but very down to earth and a straight shooter; which I liked. He isn’t going to lie to you and promise you the moon and stars. He’s realistic and honest, along with skilled and talented.
I came in from out of town and spent the night in a very nice hotel. I arrived for my procedure and everyone from the front desk, to the tech, were great. Anesthesia was also awesome. Just a great team. I was in, out, and it was over.
Recovery wasn’t that bad. You will be sore for a week or two. Be forewarned, you won’t be getting narcotics after this. He uses a combo including gabapentin. He told me I would have no issues. I was TERRIFIED, and it was the first time I questioned his judgment…but….since I was trusting the man with my vagina, I figured I would put my “know it all nurse” to the side and keep trusting him. He was right. I didn’t need narcotics. I was fine with what he prescribed. Would it have been easier with them? Yes. Will you be fine without them. Yes. I am a baby. I don’t like pain or discomfort. I want to sleep at night post surgery. But I was ok, and you will be as well.
I followed all after care instructions to a T. This was my second vaginal surgery and I wasn’t putting any of it in jeopardy.
I tried my first tampon this week. It did not fall out! (I ended up using pads because my new vagina wasn’t happy with the tampon just yet…but it didn’t fall out.) THAT is what I needed! Mission accomplished. When I am ready for tampons again, they are going to stay put and not end up in the toilet during bowel movements (I think) WIN.
Sex. I just had sex for the first time after 8 weeks (my stitches were healed at 6, but again, this was my second surgery and I wasn’t putting ANYTHING in there to jeopardize it!)
We went super super slow. I just wanted to see if I could A) have sex again yet. B) I was super excited to see if my laxity issue was gone/improved.
My husband does not really feel a difference. He’s not super well endowed…and would never have complained before my surgery, so no opinion from him one way or the other. I was hoping he would notice a difference, but he didn’t. Thankfully I did it for me, and not him ;p
Sex for me. I do notice a difference. Not a huge difference, but enough to take note. I had four natural births…which I am sure left Dr. Pelosi with not a whole lot of great muscle to repair/work with. Add arousal to the mix, (lubrication was never an issue of mine) and well…not a huge difference there during sex. A bit sore after it. Wait the full 8 weeks even if your stitches are healed, and GO SLOW! I’ll probably wait another week or two before I give it another go. (Yes, I am babying my new vagina)
Do I wish my vagina was back to it’s pre-baby days? Yes. But you have to be realistic, you aren’t 21 anymore. The goal is improvement, not perfection. I believe my tampon is going to stay in, I feel a little tighter during sex, and I will gladly take some improvement over where I was before.
Dr. Pelosi knows his stuff. Trust him. He’s great to work with, and will tell it like it is. He never promised me my pre baby vagina back, and explained that sometimes you don’t have a lot to work with. Improvement, not perfection.
I did this for me. If you feel broken and bad about vaginal laxity post child birth, do it for you. I wish I had gone to Dr. Pelosi the first time…don’t make that mistake!
Women deserve sexual satisfaction and vaginal function, just as much as men do with their sexual health and function. We just don’t talk about it as an issue, but it sure is one!
Would I have it done again? Sure would. My only regret is not using Dr. Pelosi the first time.
Would I return for other cosmetic procedures? Sure would. He is a skilled and honest surgeon. Rare combo. (Bonus points for his tech being adorable and a great experience in the clinic)
