Healing really well! No pain or soreness as long as I stick to dilation schedule. If I'm on schedule I'm able to use just agent orange (soul source no 4) without no 3 first. I actually wish that there was something bigger, lmk if you are aware, because I feel like I could take another size up.
2nd checkup @ Gynocologist she said we will decide how to approach any hair at my next checkup in Jan. No mention of internal granulation this time, but I assume, if it's still there, it's minimal. I had some noticeable odor after switching from saline to tap water for douching. Thought I had BV and took antibiotics but didn't help.
My Gyno took a swab and it came back from the lab as a typical wound infection that can result from surgery. Apparently it's not treatable with the meds I took for BV (bacterial vaginosis) and she scribed me a cream to inject after my nightly dilation routine. A few days after finishing I noted that a normal odor was present and ph indicators show no more imbalance.
Also, since correction of the infection, it seems like healing of the granulation on my hood has jump started and now rapidly disappearing. Also I've been able to stop using pads because I have no more discharge.
I don't know how long I had that infection because, I suspect, the saline had masked the primary symptom of odor but might have been there for some time.
Sensation is pretty good everywhere but I'm quickly overrun which creates a buzzing feeling for whatever reason. To be fair I was hypersensitive pre op and pre hrt. I have not been able to hit an o just yet but when aroused I do seem to get a bit wet.
Scars have started to fade significantly. But closer to the fourchette they seem to be colour matching and softening somewhat but remaining wide.
I think that's about it so feel free to ama in the comments or by way of DM if you don't want to do so publicly.
Love you my trans fam!
