Vaginoplasty, Perineoplasty and Hemorrhoid Tag Removal

Hi Ladies!
I've been meaning to post an update for you guys, I can't believe it's been almost 6 months already! Everything with my surgery has been good, zero complaints here. I would say the longest issue I had was pain with sex which caught me off guard because I thought after having sex a few times the pain would get better. I had pain in my perineum until about 4.5 months. The truth is I really didn't use the estrogen cream that was provided because my pharmacist kind of scared me with the risks of using estrogen for prolonged periods. I got to a point though that I decided I had enough of the pain and committed to doing perineal massages every night with the cream. It was really painful and tender to do but after only 1 week of doing it consistently and with firm pressure, the pain in my perineum was gone and sex no longer hurts! If any one is having pain after sex, that plus having sex regularly is what helped me the most. My results are still really tight and it does still take a little time to fully get it in but it's not painful at all. That's all!

Hey ladies!
So I am 7 weeks post op. I had my final appointment yesterday, which was 2 weeks delayed due to work and my period. Dr. G checked everything out and told me I healed "beautifully" lol. As of now I am going to start the treatment for the scarring on my perineum.
So, first of all, I have gone from being able to fit 3 1/2 fingers inside my vagina to only 1!!!! I honestly could not believe it but I am way tighter. All the stitches from inside my vagina fell out around six weeks, and since then the excessive discharge and itching has stopped completely. I am pretty much healed but the opening of my vagina does feel overly firm and tender still and I have some over scarring from the stitches that were in my labia. I hoping that with time that will settle down.
My hubby and have had sex 3x now. My first tried around 6 weeks. The 1st time was very painful, definitely like losing my virginity. We had to go extremely slow and use a lot of lube. The most painful part I am finding is actually the perineum because once he's all the way in, it doesn't hurt anymore. My perineum is so sore and I feel like I have microtears after. At this point, it's hard to say if it's more pleasurable for me because I've been so preoccupied with the pain but I can definetly say there is no more slipping out, no pressure in my rectum and no feeling like I have to squeeze to feel him. For the first time in years, I can be totally relaxed and feel all of him lol. For him, there is also a significant difference. He has said that he feels like he's "all the way in" when only the tip is because the opening is much tighter. He also said that I'm much tighter on the inside. So far, I'm extremely happy with the changes and am hopeful that over the next few months the tender areas will get better.
I've noticed some unexpected changes with my period as well. Firstly, I was able to wear a tampon without any leaks. Before I used to have leaking even if the tampon/menstrual cup wasn't full but I never attributed it to this issue. The only thing that bothers me is that now with wearing pads, blood will collect in my vagina while lying down and make a mess when standing. Also, I have to wear my pads more forward because it only collects on the front of the pad which is a problem with pads that have wings. I hoping that this too will get better as my perineum softens but it may not. That's all I have for now, if you guys have any questions let me know!
