New Bruise every time I go to the bathroom
Good afternoon ladies :0)
I had an LAVH, partial hysterectomy on Wednesday this past week, so I am 3 days post-op. Last night as I shuffled into the bathroom several times, each time I noticed a new bruise appearing on my body. They are not huge bruises but are noticeable. I just went to the bathroom again and as I passed the mirror on my way out, I noticed a large bruise that appeared seemingly overnight on my left incision, on the left side. I recall the doctor mentioning the word hematoma, but I don't remember what she said it was or what the difference between that and a bruise is. I am one of the hyster sisters who experienced an extreme amount of pain, and am still experiencing that pain now that I am home, so I do have pain on that left incision but I don't think the pain has gotten any worse, but I know for certain it has not gotten any better! Has anyone else had these bruises that keep appearing out of nowhere? Thanks to all who took the time to read this :0)

Re: New Bruise every time I go to the bathroom
I was given blood thinners the day of my surgery and the day after, and I bruised for a week after...they just kept popping up. When I had a diagnostic lap in April, I even had bruises under my arms from being moved around.

Re: New Bruise every time I go to the bathroom
I had so much bruising show up after my surgery that I searched on YouTube to try to see if anyone had looked similar. I could not find any videos of hysterectomy bruising but there were a few by people who had tummy-tuck surgeries. They had big areas of bruising too, which made me feel a little more okay. I am not even sure if it is exactly "bruising", I think it was blood working its way out being expelled by the body, but I'm not sure.

Re: New Bruise every time I go to the bathroom
The bruising is not from new injury but from blood within the body (from the surgery) settling, Unless it keeps growing and gets hard or puffy it is very normal. Should start to turn yellow green in a day or two.
Happy healing ladies.

Re: New Bruise every time I go to the bathroom
Lots of shades of purple, blue and green. Still sensitive from where the IV was, too... and some strange square marks on the back... face finally returning to normal. Anesthesiologist had warned me face can swell and bruise, too... body goes through a lot. amen for modern medicine.
