Brownish Vaginal Discharge
I had my TAH & BSO on May 30 and was home June 2.
My Iron Level is down to 73 even after 2 Units of Blood post OP and my Bloodpressure is/ was quite low in Hospital.
I had some Vaginal Bleeding in the Hopsital and was told that is normal.
It stopped asap.
Today when I went to the Toilett I noticed a slight brownish Discharge after Urinating and wiping.
Also my BM are very painful. sighhh
I am quite concerened about the discharge so, is that normal?

Re: Brownish Vaginal Discharge
Hi Petra,
The brownish discharge is normal, its just old blood. I'm nearly 6 weeks out from surgery and still having spotting. Are you taking a stool softener like colace? ((((( hugs )))))

Re: Brownish Vaginal Discharge
Hi ChrysalisMoon,
Thank you so much for your fast reply, it really did put my mind at rest
I was prescribed a mild Natural Laxative but I do think it gives me wind and the * runs * which are so unconfortable so I should stop taking them and ask my GP for a High Fibre Gel.

Re: Brownish Vaginal Discharge
Yes, you are very right, out is better than in.
It just worried me.
I personally feel they let us out of Hospital way to early, I would have felt much better another few days with Nurses and Doctors at hand If I am worried.

Re: Brownish Vaginal Discharge
Definitely think hospital stays should be longer for some people - I am amazed at how quickly some people have been discharged!
I was discharged 5 days post op - as I had to poop before they would let me go home - I had had bowels symptoms pre op and my bowel was stuck to my uterus! I could probably have gone the day before but was no where near fit enough 3days post op which would have been the normal discharge day!!

Re: Brownish Vaginal Discharge
Oh I had the same with my bowel , stuck to the Uterus and also my bladder.
I could go the next day but only because they gave me these laxatives.
I was in on Thursday, out on Sunday.
We are so vulnerable after a Mayor Operation, which this is!
Alone at home you have so much time to worry about everything. sighhhhh
My hubby and kids are very good to me, but they can not help with questions reg. little pain and twinges post op.
