Hi there... I haven't been in touch for quite a while, but unfortunately I have an issue. I'm going to have surgery next week, February 11, due to complications from radiation. My vaginal wall has closed together from scar tissue growing together, and there is only one tiny hole where urine can still flow through. I have not been able to have intercourse obviously... But I also continuously get UTI infections. So I have to have the vaginal wall separated and will have a catheter and vaginal dilator in 24/7 for the first week, then I still have to wear the dilator for another 5-6 weeks. Has anyone ever experienced this?
