I was born with a semi-imperforate hymen. Luckily it was perforate enough to let my period blood out so it didn’t build up, but the hole couldn’t even fit a q-tip. Pretty much knew I had it for awhile, but wasn’t comfortable to have it diagnosed until I was 21. After the surgery I could finally wear tampons! I didn’t know a solid vagina was a thing. But reading what you went though with the dilators, I’m so glad I didn’t have it. Sounds so painful, and I know at your age I wouldn’t have been mature or motivated enough to do it daily. Props to you for doing that!
My question is: out of everything you’ve been through, what was the most painful experience? And also, what did the room smell like when all that old period blood came out?
