Vaginal odor, After hysterectomy
Hello everyone, I had a partial hysterectomy about 8 years ago. I noticed everytime I have sex with my boyfriend, my vagina smells different. I douche and I take warm baths. I douche maybe once or twice a month. I am wondering if I am having this odor because I don't have a menustration anymore. Before I had the partial hysterctomy I never had a problem with having a vaginal odor. I went to the doctor my pap test are fine. Do I need to douche more? Please Help! Thank You!
I'm 36 and I just had total hysterectomy October 15th, 2014. I too have experienced bad odor. It was sooo bad that I called the doctor, went in for a visit and said that I had developed granulation. It's some kind of tissue that is left over after the surgery that can cause odor, pain, and spotting. This is almost after 3 months after surgery. He treated with some kind of nitrate, wants to see be back in a week. I shall wait and see.
I'm 60 and had a complete hyst 6 weeks ago. I have not had a period in over 10 years because of menopause and NEVER had any odor until now. I've resumed sex with my husband and I can not stand the odor. I'msure it has something to do with the hysterectomy. I am perplexed and have not talked with my doctor yet about this.
I'm 38 the doctor dint even give me a choice, if I had to get a full hysterectomy, I was very young I was 21 in June of 97, I had mine, over the years I never had problems, till a few years back, if I'm really attracted to that person, I start off having sex dry, then I noticed I would wet my fingers and rub my g spot, then I would begin to relax, sometimes I would get super wet, but it fill like I peed on myself, and my BF would say did u per on me, I would have to explain know I didn't, but truly know the feeling really do feel if u pissed on yourself, I never new of taken any hormone medicine, I never used hormone medicine till last year, I'm 38 now, my reason I started hurting really bad trying to have sex, then it got to were I hurt so bad down below, when my BF ask for sex, I just made a excuse why I didn't want sex, then it got so bad for me, I could not stand to wipe my kitty with tissue, or use a wash cloth, then different soaps would make my kitty hurt bad to, then it got the point where I could just be laying down resting or walking, then I would get really sharp on and off throbbing pain, that would last for 10 seconds, sometimes threw out the day are week. I kept my family doctor everything she check me for came back good, so she just gave me some cream to insert 3 times a week. I use to use that cream for years but it wasn't helping, so my doctor sent me to a GYN , I went she check me, I cried like a new born screaming, because I could not stand the touch, with in the past 4 years my sex life went from good, to having sex once a week, 2 times out of a month, till 0, to hurting not wanting sex, and going with out sex 1 year straight, so after I went to this GYN doctor she gave me some Vagifem Estradiol Vaginal Tablets 10mcg I insert 2 a week, I take Estradiol by mouth 1 time a day 1mg. After taken the medicine, I've gave myself 4 months before I tried to have sex in June 2014, I had to coach my BF on how to do my body, I use some KY, I asked him to easy it in, I was tender and a little sore, I could not feel that on the outside, because the outside feeling went a way, that's why I felt like I was well. When couldn't stand 1 stroke, I begin to handle 4 or 6 stroke, so I made my BF wait a few more weeks, July 2014 came we tried again, now I'm having sex at least 3 to 4 times a week, but my kitty can't handle any hard stroking, my wall I go back to hurting, get sore tender my wall when I wipe have light blood. So now I have to use the KY and make love if I want sex. I just allowed my BF to have oral sex with me over 4 years. So since I been taking the medicine, I'm able to let him go little longer down below, but my kitty is still tender. So I'm not able to handle that much as I would like. So thanks to the doctor, I almost gave up on life and ended my relationship. I'm still praying I get back 100%, Now I'm getting my sex life back day by day. I hope what I have been threw and going threw help u. Can someone out there answer, I have a question about hysterectomy why when u climax it be a lot, of it to were I have to change my sheets, I hate that pee feeling, thanks for listening...
Ok I had my partial hysterectomy in March 2013 and noticed a very weird smell like burnt hair or flesh and was worse with sex I would Wear a pad every day then my mom she's 60 told me about vinegar douche I tried it once it worked the smell was gone so now I use of vinegar and water douche now I have no more smell I hope this helps
Glad you did not marry a man that would leave you when you are having problems. Try lubricant and see your gynecologist to see if she needs to perscribe a cream (hormone) for your vaginal area. A person I know did this and it was a success, please check with gyne first!
