Dilation is required in order to stop the vagina from closing.
Dilation has to be done for the rest of my life. For the first two months they recommend 3 times a day using two stents the small one for 5 minutes and the larger one for 10 minutes. I do this for 10 and 20 minutes. This shows me applying Betadine Gel to the smaller of my 2 stents. This is an iodine based gel which wards off infection.
