Wow. My surgeon won't clear me until 8 weeks. I'm sorry you're experiencing some bleeding. Hopefully it is just a scant amount and nothing to be concerned about. When in doubt, call your doctor's office. Best to you.

Re: bleeding after intercourse? 4 wks post tah
Eventhough you were cleared, your body may not be ready yet. The time frame given and what we actually need doesn't always coincide. Was the bleeding slight or heavy. Some spotting is normal, but at 4 weeks it could be possible that it could be something else. I had a TAH, but eventhough my sutures had dissolved at 4 weeks, my doctor had me wait an additional two weeks to give my insides more time to heal. Call your doctor, he should be able to ease your mind. I would suggest giving yourself a little more time to heal, but still check with your doctor.
Lots of ((HUGS)) to you

Re: bleeding after intercourse? 4 wks post tah
I would say that you need to give it more time. 4 weeks is not enough time to heal properly after such a major surgery. Call the doctor just to be sure you don't need to be checked internally. Then wait a couple weeks at least and then try again. I waited 3 months and still ended up having to go back for moderate bleeding issues at 7 months. It just takes time. Hang in there!

Re: bleeding after intercourse? 4 wks post tah
4 weeks seems so early to be released. That is a perfect example of how we are all different and our doctors are different as well.
I would definitely give your a call. You may need to be seen. It is common for women to have bleeding at the 3-5 week mark because that is usually when internal sutures are starting to dissolve. Since you had intercourse around the same time, it may be a good idea to have an internal exam done just to make sure that nothing was damaged.
to you! Hopefully the bleeding stops soon and no damage was done.

Re: bleeding after intercourse? 4 wks post tah
I agree with you ughh! What kind of crap is that. Don't hesitate to go to the ER if you find that you can't wait until Monday, especially if the bleeding increases.
Hang in there sweetie. Sending many ((HUGS)) your way.
