DEAR DEIDRE: DUE to surgery and treatment for cervical cancer, my vagina has become shorter.
I’m 51. I had surgery four years ago and all is fine.
My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.

I’m more or less back to my old self physically but I’ve used a vibrator and I can only get half of it in.
I’m currently single but I have met someone.
I’m looking forward to a relationship but how can I have one when I am not going to be able to have sex with him?
DEIDRE SAYS: Surgery might shorten the vagina slightly but this shouldn’t usually affect whether you can have vaginal sex.
The vagina naturally expands when you’re aroused.
You may need to try different positions to control the depth of penetration.
If there is a serious issue, you should raise this with the surgeon.
You can find support through Macmillan (macmillan.org.uk, 0808 808 0000).
