Questions about 6 week post hysterectomy check
does anyone know what happens at the 6 week post op check? I'm assuming they look inside. Just wondering if it will be painful? Do they use a speculum? I called the dr yesterday with questions about pain inside during a bm. They said that was normal. They also said it would be normal to experience bleeding in a couple of weeks as the stitches inside desolve. I haven't read anything about that yet. Can you give me any answers??

Questions about 6 week post hysterectomy check
Hi!! I am just over 4 wks tvh myself and I am also worried about 6 wk check up!! I don't know what's going to happen either .. Yikes !! But as far as the bleeding I had very min spotting until 16 days after and that's when mine began as my dr told me to expect even tho I knew it I just thought since it didn't have at 2 wks exactly I was going to be one of the lucky ones and it would just skip me.. lol . I will find out about check up on the 19 th .. So nervous!!

Re: Questions about 6 week check
No worries! At my 6 week, she checked my incision again, then examined me on the inside, she did use a speculum, it did not hurt at all. Then we talked a little about how well I was doing and she told me I could do whatever activities I wanted going forward, except she wanted me to wait 3 more weeks for sex.

Re: Questions about 6 week check
I had an internal check with the speculum at 2 weeks and it didn't hurt, so I'm assuming that my 6 week won't either. I know the doctor will be checking internal stitches again.
Spotting is normal. If it is a lot or makes you nervous give your doctor a call.

Re: Questions about 6 week post hysterectomy check
I have my 6 week check on 20th. Had internal stitches checked at 3 weeks and that was fine. I did read somewhere that they remove scar tissue at that point. Is that correct and if so does it hurt?!

Re: Questions about 6 week post hysterectomy check
I had my first po pelvic exam at 3 wks po. My doctor did use a speculum to help check on my vaginal cuff. But it was the first pelvic exam that didn't hurt.
And I have had some mildly heavier discharge randomly over the wks and I was warned that would happen as my stitches dissolve...apparently it's a good sign.
