Re: Can you tell before attempting sex if it will hurt?
That's what is going on with me right now. I'm hoping my dh and I didn't do it to much after my recovery. I'll keep you posted what they find. My nurse practitioner seems to think its dryness that is causing my burn.

Re: Can you tell before attempting sex if it will hurt?
I was at the GYN today because I thought maybe my yeast infection wasn't resolving. (It is--in fact, it's done!) He did a very thorough check-up, so had the speculum, the swabs for cultures, the whole bit. And let me tell you, he took his time! I felt some definite tenderness when he really poked at the vaginal cuff, but other than that, no problems. I'm sure he poked it more aggressively than I would have done with my gingerly finger, lol. I thought I'd be sore afterward, but no. Oh, and he said my stitches are already mostly reabsorbed, so that's good!
I think I'm probably 1-2 weeks away from no pain, but we'll see. My doctor said they say 6 weeks so people will wait at least 4, but he emphasizes listening to my body and not panicking.
Last question: the doctor asked the nurse for silver nitrate when he was examining my girl parts. What would that have been for???

Great visit ! I had silver nitrate treatment at 12wks post op, It is used to treat scare tissue that forms. It removes that tissue so your tissue under it can be exposed so it can heal. Here is an article about granulation and sliver nitrate treatments - Silver Nitrate/Vaginal Cuff. Hope that helps and yay for you
