3 days post hysterectomy: Bruising appearing

I have lower pelvic bruising that seems to be getting darker each day. My assumption is that this is normal? I have moments through the day with little soreness but then at end of day gets worse.

In wouldn't worry about it. I have some of that as well that didn't show up right away. I also had knee surgery a few years ago and the blood pooled down in my ankle hahaha it was black and blue.

I'm 10 days post op, and all sounds normal. Good luck and rest up!!!

As the day progresses & youre more active, thats when you're more inclined to notice more swelling, aches & pains. Try to pace yourself thru the day w say some walking, then rest, then repeat thru the day. If too much pain, then just rest.. Bruising occurs areas where surgery performed & where placed surgical instruments. Anytime you notice increase in symptoms, then just put a call into your Dr.
