Bleeding still...

Hey my sisters!

I am almost 4 weeks post op and am still bleeding quite a bit. It appears to be almost gushing...I have tried to take it easy and when I am off my feet, the bleeding stops considerable but I feel great and have no pain.

I have a call into the doctor as I feel this isn't normal to have this kind of bleeding and the blood is bright red. I am concerned, should I be?

I had the Davinci and have had no other problems besides the constant bleeding...any advice would be great!

Hi,

I would definitely go to the ER, that doesn't seem normal. I didn't have the same operation as you, I am sure someone else will respond to this thread. The bleeding is a worry, and should be taken very seriously. Hang in there and keep us updated.

I think that you should go to the ER also. You stated that you are four weeks out from the surgery...that seems like a lot of bleeding. I stopped bleeding maybe a week or less and it was basically nothing. I didn't have the type of surgery that you had. Mine was laparscopic and vaginally. Take care of yourself and listen to your body!

Alright ya'll saved me! I did go into the ER where the bleeding got progressively worse....after multiple exams, a terrible hemotoma on my arm, the oncall OBGYN took me into emergency surgery where they repaired a major tear in my vaginal cuff. Had I have waited, I would have probably been in major trouble.

My blood count is low so I am on iron, back to taking pain meds and antibiotics...the funniest part was when I told the doctor what my sisters said on the website about what the problem could be and....we were right!

Thanks again for everyone's wonderful advice....I am on the mend now!

HUGS!!
I hope you have a quick recovery. This is one setback you didn't need.
