Post Op Bleeding....What is normal? Your experience please!
I had a LSH with cervix removed on June 1, 2005, return to what you all refer to as "The Castle" from June 11-13 for post op infection (abscess). I am currently on antibiotics and a anti-infective for the post op problem. I am finally feeling great with more energy and no pains. My problem is I have always since surgery had a light watery pink discharge (I know is normal), then it got more reddish and pick up like a period during my post op infection, and then it went back to more of light milky pink discharge, and then last night it is a bright/dark red, it's not heavy bleeding but light, but after all my problems I am concerned, and I can't find anything on the internet that discuss normal post op total hysterectomy bleeding. I'm going to put a call into my doctors later, but the office doesn't open til 9am and to get a return call from the nurse with take up to 2 hrs., if I call before the office opens I never get my doctor but another doc that is on call that always just tell me to go to ER since they don't know me. This may be normal as the sutures dissolve and maybe I am just scaring myself after being put back in "The Castle". I am so frustrated with this surgery that it makes me want to cry! I thought beings I didn't have a TAH I would recover more smoothly, but it has just been a nightmare. I just want my 6 weeks to be over with so I can return back to norm. I know others have been having problems too, and my prayers and heart go out to you all!

Post Op Bleeding....What is normal? Your experience please!
I had a TAH/BSO on June 1, 2005. I just now stopped spotting/bleeding. After my 2 week check up the dr put me on premarin tablets and vaginal cream. He said it would help with the healing. Since doing this, the discharge has stopped. I dont know if you're on anything, but this might help. You're in my prayers.

if you have started the bright/dark red bleeding I would talk to the dr, It seems a little early for your stitches to be dissolving, I was told about 8 weeks that would happen, mine did at 6 or 7. anything that has you worried about your health or safety should be adressed, better safe than sorry!
