Re: 6 o'clock introitus
Tissue that tears repeatedly never regains the strength and flexibility as healthy tissue. Therefore, This is a very difficult problem to fix. I often have my patients try high dose estrogen cream (10x stronger than the "regular" Estrace cream.) Sometimes I also add some limited testosterone cream to improve the health of the tissue. Unfortunately, about 50% of the time, surgery is necessary to excise the scar tissue. this is very specialized surgery and should only be performed by a vulvar expert.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Mistress:<BR><B>pain rip bleed tear ouch!
