Vaginal dilator

I have read about the vaginal dilator from several of the posts on this site but no one at the radiation place has told me about it. Should I ask there or maybe my OB/GYN?

Your rad onc should be able to answer any questions you have about it and probably also can give you one--that's who gave me my first one. If that doesn't work out, then I would ask your OB/GYN.

How are you doing?

Thanks for your reply. I will ask my rad onc. So far I'm doing good have had 2 radiation treatments so only 13 hopefully to go.Originally I was told to expect any side effects after the 3rd week but I'm wondering if with the 2 week break maybe I won't feel too much side effects! or maybe that's wishful thinking! I got very constipated the first two weeks so am hoping to avoid that this time by eating plenty of fruits and salads and drinking a lot of water? Any advice on this subject would be appreciated.
