Surgical View of Vestibulectomy

I have not had a vestibulectomy, but this provides an excellent visual explanation for what the surgery looks like. Note that research on the efficacy of vestibulectomies continues to evolve. There are two methods: scalpel and laser. Scalpel seems to be the way to go. See the link by Dr. Andrew Goldstein of John Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland.

Pelvic Floor Muscles, Part 2

Being familiar with the pelvic floor muscles is helpful in treatment as you talk to your physical therapist about your pelvic floor's functionality and begin the process of motor re-education of the muscles. Muscular dysfunction includes the following:

Often these muscles are contracted which can compress on nerves that feed your vulva, your pudendal nerve (sitting pain), and your sciatic nerve (pain down the side or back of your leg). These nerves can cause the pain you feel.

These muscles can also be "tonic", meaning that they don't contract and relax properly. This weakens the pelvic floor as the muscles are either strained all the time or not engaged at all. Incontinence is one symptom of a dysfunctional pelvic floor.

Tight muscles can also restrict blood flow to the vulva; blood circulation is critical to the healing process of this skin.
