Disappearing Bits Down Below? Tmi? Posted: 03-19-07 16:55pm
Firstly, hello everyone.. I'm an extreme
newbie (joined 5 minutes ago) so please be
gentle with me!
I'd like to ask your advice/experience of
something thats really been bothering me
for ages now. About a year ago, I had
noticed that my bits down there (clitoris,
labia etc etc) seemed to be getting
smaller & smaller. Hubby and I don't
have a particularly 'active' sex life due
to my being left disabled with my last
pregnancy (I developed DSP, the more
severe form of SPD during the pregnancy 5
yrs ago). As a result, I don;t know when
this started to happen but I've a feeling
that it's got something to do with the
total hysterectomy that I had 3yrs ago
(this was done in an attempt to sort the
hormone side of my disability).
I finally plucked up the courage to ask my
GP about it but as I can't be examined,
she really didn't have a clue.
Eventually, I was referred to a gynae and
they gave me oestrogen (SP?) pessaries
which I had been using for just under
6mths now.. Unfortunately there hasn't
been any change though and if anything
else it has become even smaller. Now, I
don't know what the 'average' size is, but
lets just say it wasn't difficult to find,
especially when aroused (maybe pea size?)
but now, it's almost inverted into the
clitoral hood... Please don't laugh as
this is really bothering me and I feel
like a freak... Trying to have sex with my
wonderful husband is difficult enough
without throwing this into the mix too,
and I'm only 35!!
Could anyone please, please help with this
and give me advice on what to try?
Thanks for your time in reading this, I
really do appreciate it.

Why couldn't you be examined?
As for this... it does sound as if it is
related to the complications with your
pregnancy; but I have no knowledge of this
or the abbreviations you used for your
conditions so I'm pretty much unhelpful.

Hiya,
I can't be examined (well, I could if they
knocked me out first) because (I'm sorry
to be crude) I can't open my legs due to
the condition that I have. It's known as
Diastasis Symphysis Pubis and it's
basically a complete separation of the
symphysis pubis, which is the joint that
runs on your pubic bone, this basically
holds your pubic bone together and also
keeps the rest of your pelvis girdle in
check. When there is a separation like
this, it casues extreme pain (and I mean
extreme) with any/every movement, through
both the pubic area and the SI joints. any
form of weight baring (walking, going
up/down steps etc etc is excrutiating) and
any separation of the legs (trying to get
in/out of the car or bed etc) also has the
same effect. This is why I don't know
when this started to happen as hubby and I
only 'induldge' every so often and even
then it's as quick as possible to try and
minimise the pain..
I hope this helps anyone else with the
same queries..

I am really sorry to hear about your
disability. It must be hard. I really
couldnt' help you with this one only
because i am not too sure how your girly
bits could dissapear...i would advise you
to take the appointment with the obgyn.
