Re: hyst lap 3 weeks ago to the day and red spotting?
The 2-3 week mark is usually when the internal stitches in your cuff dissolve, and that can cause spotting. That could be it! If it keeps up, though, or if the bleeding gets worse, you could give your doctor a call.

Re: hyst lap 3 weeks ago to the day and red spotting?
Hi there! Spotting/discharge can come in a variety of colors including bright red. General rule of thumb is if filling a maxi pad in under an hour, a visit to the ER is in order. The spotting can be due to either an increase in activities or vaginal cuff stitches dissolving. As we start feeling better in weeks 3-4, this is when we tend to increase activities. If you increased your activities over the past day, this would be your body's way of telling you that you need to take a break, sit down and rest a bit. It's important to listen to what your body is telling you.
Hang in there!

Hi, when the stitches disolve, then there might be some bleeding. Are you certain you havent over done it? If youre too active, too soon there could be bleeding as well...

Re: hysterectomy lap 3 weeks ago to the day and red spotting?
I am 2 weeks and 1 day postop. I can only offer you my experience to this point. I still have very light spotting...dark pink to red. I came home on day 2 and had no spotting again until around day 5 and have been very lightly spotting ever since. I called my doctor's office and they said that spotting was quite normal for a few weeks. I am not sure when this will stop completely for good.

Happened to me too about 2.5 weeks. Freaked me out. I was all in a panic lol but it Seems to be pretty common. My doc wasn't worried about it.

Hi
I started spotting day 9 post op. Nothing serious actually get away with using just a liner. I have noticed if I over do it or have a bout of sneezing/coughing the spotting becomes a brighter red, not any heavier just a little brighter along with an increase in pain.
