Terrible Bruising on Abdomen 8 days post hysterectomy.
Hey girls,
I just took a shower and when I got out and was drying off I noticed a huge bruise on my lower left abdomen. It has been quite sore in this spot since the surgery, but I had never noticed any discoloration. Is this common? I'm trying not to freak out over here!

Re: Terrible Bruising on Abdomen 8 days post op
It could be a hematoma then. Go to search on the website and type the word in. But as always if you are concerned, you should go to a urgent care care centre or your doctor.

Re: Terrible Bruising on Abdomen 8 days post op
Actually I had bruising on my entire belly around the staples. I had a vertical incision.It was yellow by the time I went home 4 days later. The doctors and nurses couldn't believe that it was that big! I do bruise easily anyway. I guess I should have told them ahead of time but it was a nice surprise for them... It took about another week to go away.

Re: Terrible Bruising on Abdomen 8 days post hysterectomy.
The bruising comes out a couple of weeks after the op.I had a large one just above my incision where they must have clamped it.It took quite a few weeks to go.
