Re: 9 days post op issues
Hello sweetie
It depends on if you are fill up a pad within an hour....? Some spotting or light bleeding is part of the healing process, however, please realize that you could also put a call into your doctor to see what they think. It too could be something with the vagina cuff... or even a stitch along that same area.

Re: 9 days post op issues
How heavy is your bleeding? I had spotting that was pretty constant for the first 5 weeks post op. The color kept changing too... From dark red, brown, pink, bright red and orange. Give your doctor a call in the morning and see what s/he says.
It is common to have an odor down below while we heal. For me it was a different smell and stronger than normal. This is thought to be the smell of old blood, the stitches dissolving and the vaginal cuff healing. It started at day 10 for me and lasted about 2 weeks. It's important to keep following your restrictions and do not douche, take a bath, or use scented feminine cleansing products without your doctor's approval.
Vaginal Odor
Please note that a bad or foul odor is not normal and may signal infection. Call your doctor if you have a foul odor down below.
Hang in there Sweetie!

9 days post hysterectomy bleeding bright red
Hi, Spotting & bleeding may continue for weeks. If you fill a pad w in an hour then do contact your Dr or go to ER...Pains around the location of the ovaries can occur. Are you being a bit too active? Bc ut can cause increased swelling, bleeding & discomfort. An Odor may occur for a brief time...
