Bleeding/UTI Post-Op 2 Weeks
Good morning ladies,
I'm new here. I recently had a hysterectomy - 2 weeks ago today to be exact. I have suffered from PCOS and Endometriosis and that is why I ended up having a hysterectomy after several laporoscopies and attempts to try to control the symptoms of the PCOS and Endo, etc.
About 5 or 6 days ago I started bleeding. I have consistently been going through 7-10 pads a day - it is fresh blood, not old. I did push it my second week of recovery and drove, and ended up in the ER last Friday with severe pain.
The CT scan found I had swelling/inflammation internally but I was told that's not uncommon so soon after the surgery. I was also put on antibiotics because of a bad UTI. I am on day 4 of my antibiotics and am finally starting to feel better - but am still bleeding a lot.
I do have one child - I was lucky enough to accidentally concieve in my early 20's, so that is one reason I have pushed it more than I normally probably would have so soon after the surgery, as a single mom.
Has anyone else dealt with this? I was really hoping to be feeling better by now, however this was also my 3rd surgery this year and I'm sure it's been hard on my body.
Thanks in advance

Re: Bleeding/UTI Post-Op 2 Weeks
I am 9 weeks post-op today and I bled for 8 weeks. The good thing is once you stop you are done! You will never have another period again. My biggest challenge is I seem to be having headaches and they are pretty intense. Don't happen all the time but when they happen they are dusey!
Youwil stop bleeding just not for a while, just make sure you don't become enemic.

Re: Bleeding/UTI Post-Op 2 Weeks
I got a UTI with vaginal bleeding 10 days post op. Went to my dr. who put my on antibiotics and noted a hemotoma on the vaginal cuff that is causing the bleeding. I go back tomorrow at the 4.5 wk mark to see how it is doing.
This ride has been crazy for me in terms of recovery. Nothing HUGE (knock wood) but nothing at all like the other da Vinci surgeries/recoveries. I attribute at least some of this being that I had my bladder lifted as well. I'd also never had general ansest. and reacted badly, rendering my first 5-7 days a big blur!
Hang in there! I keep reading that it gets better! I'm trying to assess by the week vs. the day!!! I hope you are feeling better!!!
