Antibiotic Dosage (Cephalexin)
For those of you who were prescribed Cephalexin, what was your recommended dosage and timing?
I’ve seen 500mg 2x, 3x, or even 4x a day, and I’m not sure why there’s so much discrepancy?

Please help, does this look infected?
I’m 15 days post op (laser labiaplasty and CHR with dissolvable stitches) but I had my surgery out of the country so I can’t easily go for a follow up. I’m freaking out a bit because my swelling was going down but in the past 2 days, my clitoris has swelled up even more than before, and is really painful if anything brushes against it. This whole healing process was so distressing already because I didn’t know the clitoris would be this exposed and I don’t know if it’s ever going to be covered again. Do you think I need another round of antibiotics?
UPDATE: I sent photos to my surgeon and described the situation and she said it’s not infected, and is a normal part of healing… I’m so confused. Has anyone else, especially if you had laser surgery, had similar experiences in healing?

Sudden pain from 0 to 10
I’m 13 days post op. Slight discomfort and pain in last few days, but not for long. This morning I was lying in bed and had no pain at all. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere I had this sharp pain on one side. It was like being shocked, literally went from 0 pain to a 10. No bleeding or anything. It wasn’t slowly getting worse, it just hit me out of nowhere and I thought it might be a nerve thing, but it’s constant and it has been quite a while now and is still extremely painful. Has this happened to anyone else? I thought it was slowly getting better, but now I can barely move because of the pain.

Clitoral hood reduction
I had labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction and I think she took too much of the hood away. The clitoral glans is completely exposed. I’ve never liked the sensation having it exposed as it gets hypersensitive and painful. I believe it will greatly affect my ability to achieve orgasm in the future… Is there anything that can still be done to correct this? Does anyone else have experience with this? Thanks.
