Had surgery at Rush in Chicago. Ask me any questions you have.

I was in the hospital for a week and nursing facility for 2. Dilation is not bad, when they took out the packing and the first feeling inside made me nauseous and dizzy but the physical therapist helped with that and no more issues.

Surgery: Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty

Surgeon: Dr. Loren Schechter

Not speaking from experience, just what I’ve read.

You don’t have to dilate for forever per se. As time goes on you have to do dilation like activities less and less often to maintain it. I’m not sure if there’s a lower limit to how often, but I think there is. Also note I said “dilation like activities”. So after a while, it doesn’t strictly have to be dilation.

If I’ve said anything wrong, please let me know. Again, this is just what I remember from reading and isn’t something I’ve experienced myself.

Yeah, right now it's 3 times a day, goes down to 2 then 1 and then 1-2 times a week depending on if you have penetrative sex regularly.
