Here are some great resources that I found incredibly helpful.
This website has a forum and one of the subjects is vestibulectomy there are comments from many women who have tried all different kinds of treatment or who have had vestibulectomy’s. This is the forum that I found the most information on.
Although it was helpful to me, it was sometimes difficult to sift through to find what I need and the rules of the site make it very difficult to email anyone else and ask a question. The great thing about this is that there are a lot of different women with different experiences in one place. I think you have a decent shot of finding someone who has similar symptoms that you experience and possibly finding out what they’ve tried. However, the difficult thing about this is that there are a lot of different women with different experiences in one place – it’s easy to hear someone’s bad experience with a certain treatment and freak yourself out. Just remember, no two people are exactly alike, your circumstances may not be the same as theirs. All you can do is educate yourself and choose what you feel good about.
Hereis another link to a blog created by someone who has also had a vestibulectomy. I found her blog through the hisandherhealth.com forum just a few days ago and seeing it is what made me decide to create this blog.
Here is a PDF of the vestibulectomy surgical procedure I found when I was researching it - although I hated looking at it, i felt better knowing exactly what to expect than to have a crappy drawing that my Dr. gave me. I'm thinking maybe he gives out the drawing instead because it is less upsetting to the patient - I can definitely see why!
If I run across other resources or information that I think might be helpful, I will add them later on.
