Fenton's repair - what is it??
Ever since I first had sex (about 3 years ago), I've had constant pain when my boyfriend enters me.
I've seen numerous specialists and they all seem a bit vague about the problem.
The last one I've seen has advised me to undergo a Fenton's repair operation and says she feels this is the only thing that could help me.
She told me to go away and look it up on the internet and get back to her if I decide to go ahead.
Trouble is I've been on loads of websites and I can't find anything about it!!
Has anybody had this and can tell me more about it or maybe where I could get the information from??
Thanks :)

Hi thank you for letting me know - it's not just me then! It's good to know your all well now. Did you just leave the blister then? they told me if anything unsightly comes up I shoud go to Drs or if I get an infection. I've also been told not to have a bath for 10 days, although I think it would be more clean to bath and clean the wound properly. They didn't tell me much about what to do after the operation. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks
Hi Emma,I found this a useful site,I had fentons repair 3weeksago.....and Im back to playing badminton now.I had a small blister looking lump in the same area...just to one side but its almost gone now.I got more pain from about day 5till day9 but after that it improved quickly.good luck to you.
Hi - this is a very useful discussion board. I wonder whether anyone can help me - I had the fentons procedure on Friday - I'm sore which is expected, the stitches look ok and neat, but there is a blister type ball at the botton of my vagina? is this normal? should I see my GP?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Emma

Thank-God for that!!!
Its a week today since I had the op...I now no longer need any painkillers at all, which is good as up until yesterday morning, I was taking them every 4-6 hours and if I didnt was left very uncomfortable, with a throbbing sensation.
I rang my GP earlier, and they got me an appointment for tomorrow evening, and a prescription of anti-biotics in the meantime. Im hanging fire with taking them, until Ive seen the Doctor, as if theres no infection, and the pain Im in is normal, then Im happy to ride the storm until the pain and tenderness goes...no point taking tablets for nothing.
I also rang the secretary for the consultant who operated on me, and she advised that it is possible theres some infection, but just because one side is more tender than the other doesnt mean its definetly infected...she advised it could be due to the stitches being a little tighter on the more painful side, or just that one sides healed a little quicker than the other.
With any luck, tomorrow, maybe the tenderness will have eased even more :-)
Ive found this thread so helpful...it really does make a difference to hear other peoples stories, as for so long Ive just felt on my own in all of this.

Hi all.I m experiencing more pain now....8 days after my fentons.....so maybe that is right,it gets worse before getting better.I also am sore when "patting" dry after a wee.Hope at last!x
Hi there,
My dermatologist also gave me an aqueous type cleansing wash to use down below called Dermol, I think you can get it over the counter as well. I use it everytime I shower or bath and its a soap substitute - its literally the only thing Ive found that I can use that doesn't irritate, and if I happen to be feeling like I may have an eczema flare up, if I use it, it tends to nip anything in the bud before it starts.
I wanted to know how people were managing with their stitches...as mine seem to be getting more painful and tight by the day, does anyone know if this is normal? I've been told by a few friends who have had procedures in a similar place, that the pain tends to worsen before it gets better...just worried I have an infection, because its painful and tender on one side when I pat dry after a number one.
I've been using lavender oil in the bath, and on my pad to help with the pain and inflammation - it has provided some temporary relief.
