Total loss of feeling. Unfortunately I am one of the people that serious nerve damage from this surgery also the surgery wasnt done properly and Have had to see other doctors that have said he should have never performed this surgery on me so soon after having a baby and while breastfeeding which he knew. I can no longer feel what I used to and then dismissed by the doctor. There was no tightness either . This has seriously ruined the one thing enjoyable in my life and Im out of 4000 dollars

There are doctors who can repair the nerve damage, but you have to find someone who knows what they are doing.

Just wanted to update its been 8 months and still cant feel. This is caused by cut or nicks the nerve usually. What a way to live not being able to feel pleasure or pain anymore. I also did talk to a 20 year nerve repair surgeon he said he is familiar with this type of surgery and its not possible to fix.

Still cant feel

Cute7623
Imagine being in your 20s and being numb in your vagina and no longer able to feel the pleasure of sex cant feel pain all because a provider decided to talk you into unessarysurgery that changed your life so negatively with zero benefits. Numb!! for over 8 months now. The emotional pain shame and embarrassment and betrayal this has caused is excessive. Perinoplasty vaginoplasty is not worth it and providers thinking every vagina is the same is just not right I was naive and trusted this doctor. Please save your self its not worth never feeling like a normal woman again.

I am so sorry. Did dr.ashford explain what went wrong? Were any solutions offered?

No. He doesnt want to take any responsibility at all And was rude. However the mayo hospital said he should have never operated on me before 6 months post partum. Too much tissue was cut and nerves must have been damaged. Everything is connected.

I've read that women are supposed to wait until they're one year post baby. He should have known this as long as he has been in his profession. I am so sorry <3

Still no sensation. On Jan 28 it will be 1 year since the biggest regret of my life. I greatly miss the wonderful sensation I had prior to this surgery. Praying for a miracle! Ladies if your pressured into getting a vaginoplasty by a urogynecologist 5 weeks after having a baby and he has it scheduled under 6 months after having a baby that is a major red flag. As a female urogynecologist said it can take up to a year to go back after having a couple kids. Why I trusted the surgeon I dont know. But I Am very saddened at what happened to me and not being to feel normal pleasure like a normal human anymore.
