A member asked:
I had a posterior repair 2 months ago. my doc told me to use dilator so that the tissue won't ripp during intercourse. will that make the muscle weak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be ok: Using a dilator should not weaken muscle. The muscle could be weakened if the scar tissue causes atrophy. Make sure to use your exercises. Hope this helps.
