Is spotting part of the normal healing process?
I am 11 days post op and just having my 1st spotting today of blood (other minor discharge here and there)
Does spotting *always* mean you overdid it, or is it part of the normal healing process?
Reason I ask is that I had my first outing yesterday but it was only to the doctor's office and a quick stop at the library. I slept the rest of the afternoon.
Thanks

Re: Spotting 2 weeks post op
I would ask your doctor, but mine said it was part of the process of healing and was "normal". Mine stopped for two days, but after a full day of packing and cooking for a vacation, I started up again. I guess I will spend today sitting in my chair! The more I rest the less it is, but that is my crazy body!

Re: Spotting 2 weeks post op
I had no spotting until I started having difficulty with BM's in wk 2. I talked to the dr about if I was pushing too hard, and he told me to be aware and careful about bearing down, but it was normal unless the bleeding increased as time went by. I have had no spotting at all since week 4, and am now in week 6.

Re: Spotting 2 weeks post op
LIght spotting, even some moderate bleeding is normal for as much as six weeks, according to my doctor. But if you are concerned, check with your doctor. I know it can be hard to determine how much is too much.

Re: Is spotting part of the normal healing process?
My doc said that I could expect some spotting as the internal stitches heal and possibly are passed. There should not be any red blood or period-like blood.
