Some patients may be advised to hold the dilator firmly in place from 5 minutes to 15
minutes, or you may be advised to insert, remove and reinsert, repeating this process
several times. Your doctor, nurse or radiographer will advise you fully on this.
Should some spotting or slight bleeding occur after use, this is considered normal
because of the breakdown of any adhesions.
However, should heavy or prolonged bleeding occur contact your doctor or nurse
specialist immediately.
If you cannot insert the dilator into the vagina easily do not force it.
Remove the dilator and try again later when you feel a little more relaxed.
If after attempting several times you still cannot insert the dilator, stop use and contact
your doctor or nurse specialist.
There may be some discomfort when you first start using the dilator. If pain or
discomfort continues with use, inform your doctor, nurse specialist or therapist.
It is suggested that a reasonable duration and frequency of dilation may range from
three minutes twice a week, for the first six months, up to ten minutes and twice daily.
Once a week thereafter and then occasionally after a year if not experiencing difficulty,
or as advised by your radiographer, nurse specialist or doctor.
Weekly use is most important even if you continue to have sexual intercourse as it
helps to keep the vagina supple and reduces the chances of discomfort during sexual
intercourse.
If you are not sexually active it is still advisable to use the dilator as this will assist with
medical examination.
