“So every day, sometimes twice a day, I would get a shower head and get the water at its hottest setting - as much as I could bear - and use it in the same area. “I was doing this for years. It became a routine, like an addiction.
I told nobody except Yass and he would try to stop me - he was so supportive - but it was in my head.” Burned and sore, smear tests became too painful to bear. Sex with her husband Yass was difficult and the tender skin would sometimes bleed. She now has a partial bladder prolapse, she believes as a result of her actions.
“I just thought: ‘this is what I have to do’. I’d try to wean myself off but I’d always do it again. You go through a threshold of pain - if I had to do fire eating for a living it wouldn’t be a problem,” explained Cheryl who now
