Almost 4 weeks post op and still bleeding
Hi all, I had my LAVH on 12/18 and am still bleeding. Not a lot, only when I go to the bathroom and some spotting on my pantie liner. Is anyone still experiencing this?
Thanks,
cd195pam

Re: Almost 4 weeks post op and still bleeding
Hi! I'm 4 weeks post op and had a major set back with my recovery... At 21/2 weeks post surgery I got diagnosed with a bleeding disorder! Up until last week I was bleeding a lot, so I know how frustrated u must feel. While my hematologist is trying to figure out exactly what bleeding disorder I have , he put me on the drug called amicar. And omg has that made a difference! I went from heavy bleeding to nothing in less than 5 days! Talk to your dr about it, I truly don't know if this medicine is appropriate for someone without a bleeding disorder, but it sure would be worth asking. Best of luck

Re: Almost 4 weeks post op and still bleeding
I had my hysterectomy on Dec. 17. I too am still bleeding. I went back to the doctor last week and she said I had a tear in my internal sutures. She used silver nitrate to close it, but I am still bleeding!! I actually have to wear a pad and have already gone through 1 and a half packages. I'm concerned. Any advice?

Re: Almost 4 weeks post op and still bleeding
Thanks so much to everyone who replyed. My bleeding increased somewhat today, probably over did it. I keep forgetting that I am healing on the inside. I called the doctor today and he said nothing to worry about. So unless it increases dramatically, I guess I don't have anything to worry about?
Mina, I had a bleeding disorder when I was in highschool, it was called ITP, my platelets were very low. Don't know if that helps at all but it might be worth getting a blood draw and your platelet count checked (your doctor has probably already checked this).

Hi- I'm 4 weeks post-op today and I am still using liners for a slight discharge, pinkish-yellow. My dr. says it's normal for what I had done.
