Thank you for answering my questions. I did see my gyne today and she said it looks like vaginal atrophy. Between the complete hysterectomy - which did include removal of the cervix - and the fact that I have been taking oral cancer meds (aromasin) for the past 6 years - she did a complete exam with a pap smear and said that is what she concludes - atrophy. Thank you for replying.
Hello pgpapergirl,
It could be due to vaginal atrophy being that you had both ovaries were removed. My suspision of this etiology would be further enhanced if you reported spotting related to intercourse. Differential diagnosis should include granulation tissue along the posterior vagina, vaginitis, hemorrhoids, and trauma. Lastly, cervical and vaginal cancer. The simplest thing to do is be examined by your gynecologist. The word total hysterectomy would indicate to me that your cervix was removed. You did not use these words. Please have your gynecologist confirm that you cervix was indeed removed. I hope this helps.
Regards,
