Post-op bleeding??
I am new to post on here. My surgery date is the 18th and I just read some things about post op bleeding. I feel stupid asking, but from what? Everything is gone that bleeds so I am a bit confused on this mater! I am just trying to figure out what to expect from all this and now I am getting more anxious about it all. I am having a Partial AH from scar tissue and Adenomyosis, Endometriosis, and various other things. My ovaries are hopefully going to stay if at all possible and he is going to take my cervix as well. If someone can educate me on this I would be grateful.

Post-op bleeding??
I'm not sure, but i think the bleeding would or could be leftover blood from surgery. I am 4 days post-op TAH, I haven't bled at all. I woke up with pads on but nothing came of it.

Post-op bleeding??
I can only tell you about my personal experience; I don't know if its the same for everyone. I've heard alot of post op stories where the woman had no bleeding at all.
I bled 1 week post op and have continued with a discharge since then. Originally my doc thought the bleeding may have been from pulling on the stitches in my vaginal cuff (the bleeding started after a bowel movement and I may have strained a little). He also said that some of the blood may have been from the surgery itself since I had extensive endo that he had to scrape off my bladder and bowels. The discharge is sloughing off of the tissue at the top of the vaginal cuff (ie: the area beyond where the vaginal cuff is stitched).
I've been wearing a pantiliner (the only menstrual products I kept !) and should be done with them soon.

Post-op bleeding??
I have heard that some women do bleed a little after, I wonder if you bleed more if you have a vaginal hyst. then an adominal one?

Post-op bleeding??
I have been spotting since my surgery last Friday. I was told that it was normal and to expect it for the first 2 weeks. It is not heavy at all, but I definitely need a pad. I had a TVH. I am sure that the spotting is from the incisions. It changes throughout the day. The more I am up, the more I spot.

hi
I had alsh on jan14 and i'll try to explain what i know about bleeding. When you leave your cervic and ovary's in you could have a mini period every month at around the same time you cycled. My doctor said there is about a 5% chance of it happening. The slight bleeding comes from you cervics. I was also told if the surgen corterizes your cervics well during surgery it will not happen. They can treat the bleeding with silver nytrate. You said you are removing your cervics so you should not have this problem but you will have bleeding after surgery while you heal then it should be gone. I have had nothing so far..Thank God. I hope i helped you.Denise. Good luck and God bless.

Post-op bleeding??
My doctor told me I might have some bleeding/discharge after my surgery as my vaginal cuff stitches dissolved and I was healing. I never had any bleeding after my TVH. It just seems that some of us do and some of us don't. If you do have any bleeding as you heal, it shouldn't be like a period or bright red blood.
Sometimes during recovery, additional bleeding might also indicate that you've done too much too soon.
s, Deb
