I’m a mom of two, who had vaginal births with both my children. With my first born (6lbs 5oz) I ended up with a small labia tear, but all sexual function and pleasure was the same as before I gave birth. With my second born (9lbs4oz) I had episiotomy and birthing injuries resulting in a 4 degree tear and bladder prolapse. I was left with my bladder literally falling out of my vagina and having fecal incontinence. At 35 years old, mom of two, I fell into depression and cried my eyes out daily. I was wearing adult diapers and pads bc I was soiling my pants. I went to a pelvic floor surgeon to address my bladder prolapse but he was not willing to perform any surgery on me bc of my age. He said I was too young and there was a chance that my bladder would lift over time. My bladder did start to lift after 6 months and I could no longer see it or feel it inside my vaginal cavity. However, my fecal incontinence continued for years. I went from soiling myself daily to a few times a week to once a week to a few times a month. Over 3 years passed and although my prolapse and incontinence seemed to be getting better, it was still there and I had no feeling during sex. I felt very stretched out and loose. I could barely feel my husband inside me, who is very large sized. I used to feel his penis stretch the walls of my vagina during sex but now it was the hotdog down a hallway analogy for me. My loving husband never made me feel guilty or shame for the way my vagina was but I felt the guilt and shame from myself. I had no sexual drive which was not in my nature. Sex became a chore and we barely were having it at all. After 4 years, I could not take it anymore, and almost exactly 4 years to the day of having my second child I was being prepped for repair surgery by Dr. Scheinberg.

I did a lot of research prior to choosing a surgeon. I did the homework and put in the time and narrowed my choices to two doctors. One happened to be a female doctor, who had great reviews but much less experience, and was only about an hour away from where we live. The second was Dr. Scheinberg. His resume and reviews were astoundingly impressive and he had years of experience under his belt. However, he was located 3 1/2 hours away. I knew I couldn’t risk choosing a doctor out of convenience, and after all I have been through, I needed this surgery to be successful regardless of dollar amount or distance.

The journey with Dr. Scheinberg started with a call to his office where I was greeted by his friendly staff and wife. I could feel their warmth and compassion over the phone and was told I would get a call from Dr. Scheinberg personally. Dr. Scheinberg called me on time and spent over an hour on the phone with me; listening to my story and what I was going through, and explaining in detail my anatomy and what he expected I would need done based off what I told him. I was sent detailed emails including a quote with an itemized list of procedures. Because of the distance I did not have an exam prior to my pre-op appointment which was a couple days before surgery. The surgery was scheduled only a few weeks away from that first phone call. My husband and I decided to rent an Airbnb near by the office and surgical center.

The time had come and here we were, traveling south to meet Dr. Scheinberg and his staff for the first time. Dr. Scheinberg was just as thorough in person as he was over the phone. Going over all the details and more. I felt like I had every question or concern answered by him which eased my nerves. He was caring and confident. Two qualities I admire in a surgeon. Like any procedure, there is always risks that the outcome will not be successful and he never gave me a sense of false hope. Yet his confident demeanor and testimonials from other women left me feeling assured that I would be put back together again and have my sex life somewhat back to normal. Eunice, his wife, is an absolute doll and went over all the paperwork with me. I was given a detailed description of what I would need to do to prep for surgery and what to expect during and after. I was given a list of medications and other items I would need prior to our trip down so I was already prepared.

Prep for surgery wasn’t fun, but wasn’t as bad as expected. I needed to completely cleanse my bowels and fast for a full day. The day of surgery I went to the surgery center which was clean and organized. I needed to fill out a few forms and then sent to the back where I undressed and got into surgery garb. Dr. Scheinberg then met me in the pre surgery area and went over a few things and reassured me that I would be okay. I had lots of nerves at this point and was scared even though I was excited too. I was given sedation meds and the next thing I remember is waking up in post op with my husband right next to me. Dr. Scheinberg said that I was in very bad shape and once he had me opened up, could really see the damage I had. Everything he thought I would need repaired was worked on during the 4 hour surgery. I felt no pain as the meds were still going strong. I had my vitals checked and not long after was discharged. I was brought out to our truck via wheelchair and remember just being very exhausted but not in much pain. Once back to the Airbnb the pain kicked in but it was not in my vagina, it was my lower back, specifically my tail bone. It hurt so badly. I received a call from Dr. Scheinberg checking up on me and he said the pain in my back was from lying on the operating table. He said bc I’m thin I had that issue. I was given meds to help with pain and muscle spasms. I took everything exactly as directed. I also had a catheter that went from my urethra into a bag that was wrapped around my leg. I had this for 10 days. Over the next day the pain slowly crept in, and the area that was the worst was my perineum. Thank goodness for bags of peas and the pain meds bc that first week was ROUGH! Having the catheter was not fun either but emptying it frequently helped deal with it. Dr. Scheinberg called me DAILY! His bedside/post op communication was top notch. I felt like VIP. He was so kind and compassionate and I actually miss getting his calls. Post op appointment came and again, my husband and I traveled down to his office. At this appointment I would have to prove my catheter could come out by urinating a certain amount. I did and was so happy. I had some localized pain in the perineum area and given a shot to dull it. I also was examined and shown in a mirror my repaired vagina, and boy was it a pretty sight! What was a torn up, broken vagina was now a tight pretty package with a bow. I couldn’t help but cry and hug Dr. Scheinberg. This was such a emotional and physical journey that started many years prior and I was so overwhelmed. I was told I could start having sex but to go slow and expect pain for some time. The first few weeks of sex was painful but I could feel my husbands penis along the inside walls of my vagina which I haven’t felt in years. It seemed as though I had a wall in the back of my vaginal canal and it was impossible for my husband to fully fit himself inside me. I was told that it was my cervix. I was nervous about this being a problem and causing issue with how my husband felt inside me but as the weeks turned into months, that wall was no longer there and I could fully take my husband’s large in girth and width penis easily. He said that my vagina feels unbelievably amazing. He said it grips around his penis and it’s sometimes hard for him to not ejaculate from how good it feels. I feel EVERYTHING! I orgasm every time we have intercourse. I can cry just thinking about the whole situation. I thought my sex life was over but Dr. Scheinberg and his unbelievable skills restored it. I owe so much to Dr. Scheinberg and am forever grateful for him and his team.

If you are experiencing anything like I was, pick up your phone and call Dr. Scheinberg now. It will change your life.

Dr. Scheinberg, if you’re reading this, thank you so very much for fixing me. I love you and am forever grateful for you.
