Sexuality post operative
Okay I really want to get this off my 36c chest.
I remember when after the birth of my first child, having had haemorriods(sp) the size of a bunny rabbits tail, the nurse came to talk to me about contraception. I was stunned. All I could think was 'I'm never having sex ever again'.
It's funny because after my first operation, I didn't feel any different.
I have had low oestrogen for 6 years now and I guess my libido has been pretty low. But when I do have sex I love it. I love my orgasms as well though prefer it when the womb does not contract so much (such as when I was pregnant!).
I did read somewhere that when everything has healed that some women enjoy for the first time deep penetrative sex without the fear of it hitting an ovary (which I mentally think sometimes).
It's just that am I am concerned about vaginal dryness. Will I have to put cream into my vagina daily? Will my Bartholins glands produce secretions (there are other secreting glands in the vulva). Will residual naturally occuring oestrogens in my body be enough to keep my vagina healthy? Should I be discussing this with my doctor/nurse/gyn/onc?

We are going into surgery on the same day. When I had my first surgery 16 years ago I felt so alone (though my husband and I had been going out for 1 year). I watched a cricket match alone the day before my surgery - hubbie is a big fan. India needed two sixes to avoid the follow on. This guy came out. I remember thinking if you avoid this my surgery will go okay. His first hit was big into the crowd. My heart was racing(this is cricket for goodness sake!). The second one another big hit. A six. Avoided. I smiled. End of story (rather bizzare I know but it kept me going).
