discharge 5 days post hysterectomy

it's been 5 days and i'm having a brown discharge is that normsl

Hi there! You are pretty early in recovery and discharge can be normal. General rule of thumb is if it is filling up a maxi pad in under an hour, this is when you would head to the ER. Discharge will come in a variety of colors. Mine ranged in color from yellow, tan, brown, red-brown, red, etc. Mine lasted for a few weeks, since I had a vaginal cuff and the stitches were dissolving.

Sometimes discharge can happen if you are overdoing it on activities. If you are walking a lot, maybe pare it down a little and relax. See if this helps to lessen the discharge.

Happy Healing!

thank you
it's not heavy and i have stitches too
