8 weeks post hysterectomy today, faint spotting

So I have a very faint light tan spotting. I walked at lunch yesterday, and cleaned a bit and vaccumed today. Is is just because I am doing more now? I have the faintest twinges in the pelvic area, nothing major though.

I had similar at 8 weeks but then my turned red. I called the Dr to be on the safe side and they wanted to see me. She figured it was probably granulation but it actually turned out to be a stitch way up on the way left side, so far that she couldn't even get to. I was told to take it easy another two weeks and that if it continued to happen to come back and she'd get some long scissors from an operating room to cut the stitch.

I think it's always best to call your Dr to check. If it is granulation that's something they can take care of easily in the office.

I decided to put a message into her just to be safe
I was told no sex until 12 weeks, so I know that didn't have anything to do with it..

I was told it was normal to spot until all the stitches are gone. This would depend upon the type of stitches that your doc used. Like the other poster said, it could be granulation as well. For me, it was a combination of the two. It's good you put a call in to your doc.

I definitely agree with the stitches thing. I learned when I went back last week, when I was in the same boat as you, that my Dr uses stitches that dissolve between 90-180 days. I was surprised by that one!

Hi sorry to gate crash this question but I'm experiencing similar but some of the replies have confused me. When you talk about stitches does this mea there coming away and also what is granulation. Sorry if I seem thick but thought I'd ask ?

The stitches should dissolve Laylamac and you may notice them coming out but you also may not. Granulation is basically scar tissue that has formed and can sometimes cause bleeding issues but is easily taken care of in your Dr's office.

I'm doing the same thing. I'm 6.5 weeks post op. I am spotting too but not much. Little pinkish, a couple times darker for the past week. I've been on a trip and walked a ton! I thought it may be from that. I'm going to dr Wed for 7 week post op. Has anyone had dr clear them for "activity" with this happening or lingering stitches. I feel great and no pain. I have an anniversary trip this weekend! I'm already getting a little down in the dumps so I know postponing our weekend will not help!

Along with my taking it easy I was told no intercourse for the two weeks too. Guessing that's what you mean by activity?

My doc didn't seem phased by the spotting B. She said take it easy on the vacuuming. I haven't spotted since and had done a fair amount of walking. I have three weeks until cleared for sex (total wait of 12) we shall see how that goes...
