I saw a post on Reddit but don’t have an account anymore. They gave a pad to a cis lady that asked for one and was asked why they had one.

My question for post op people. Do you use a pad or have discharge? I wear a liner everyday. I don’t have much on it after the whole day but it’s still something that I don’t want on my underwear. Maybe I need to do the silver nitrate stuff again on the bit of granulation skin?

    Non op here, so not an answer to your question, but I carried a couple pads/tampons in my bag for a long time just so I was able to help if/when needed.

    I had discharge for a year or so after surgery, but I think it was mostly granulation. It eventually stopped

    I’ve never bothered, there’s rarely anything and when there is it’s not much. I’m not gonna start bleeding so it hardly seems worth wearing a pad imo.

    I have recurring UTI’s and carry pads for that. Sucks when Azo turns your favorite underoos stank yellow.

    I’ve had multiple nitrate treatments for granulation tissue and have used liners yeah. It clears up eventually so long as you treat it.

      Yeah my doctor did it once, then instructed me how to do it. I did it twice at home and sent pictures each time. He said if I still see remaining tissue that I can do it once a week. I have a 100 stick tube of them minus the 4 I used. Been putting it off using them again as I don’t want to have sex after I use them. I’ll let my bf know after tonight I’ll start again.
