TAH post opp 13 weeks

I'm new to the site but wondered if anyone had advice for me.

I had a total abdominal hystrectomy on the 10th October 2012 making me 13 weeks post opp today..

However, at the weekend I had a bleed and since then have had light discharge, this was following intercose. My husband and i have had from 6 weeks onwards maybe only 3 or 4 times but havent had a problem before.

My scar is still sore and hurts when you put the foot to the floor, sometimes its more sore than others.

Like i say any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Angela

Are you having any pain? I had my hyst the day after you. I've been having a few more odd sensations in the past week, but no blood. (I haven't gotten out of the habit of checking the TP though. ) If you still have discharge through the weekend, I'd recommend calling your dr. on Monday.

I had like a dull stomach ache whilst i had the bleeding, other than that my scar is quite sore, sore to touch aswell.. The discharge has seemed to tail off and is very light so I would assume it will stop soon.

Just seemed so odd to be bleeding so late on. At 13 weeks, i assumed i'd be well on my way to healing.

What odd sensations have you been having? is it normal to experience these things?

Odd sensations: a few twinges of pelvic fullness, a dull ache or two - these last 5 minutes or less. I don't think I had any post-op symptoms during weeks 9-11 (but I had a bad cold, so I was preoccupied with those symptoms). I've also had a couple of headaches, which is unusual for me.

Your odd symptoms are things i experience to, i thought these were normal..

the area around my scar swells and becomes hard and sore the more i do. Work is quiet at the moment but have noticed this more when its been busy or when doing housework.

Have you consulted you g.p about this or spoke to a gyne, im not due to go back to see anyone and have been signed off.

I had my hysterectomy 10/11 and I'm having the same sans the bleeding (still too scared to have sex after all the problems I had), hardened abdomen, sore around my incision site, and feeling really tired. Glad to know it is perhaps normal? Hope you all take care and still get lots of rest!

I've read many times on this site that we aren't fully healed for 6-12 months. I'm just chalking the odd sensations up to the healing process. If anything lasts for a more than a day, then I'll worry about it.
