No vaginal spotting. Is this normal?

I am now 6 days post -op. I really feel god except for the soreness around the incision. I have 25 staples and will have those removed tomorrow afternoon.I have a lot of redness ouround one end of the incision and it feels very warm to the touch. I am worried that I have an infection. I had a TAH/LSO and have not had any spotting or vaginal draining of any kind. Is this normal.???

When I was release from the castle the doc and nurse both told me to watch out for increased redness and heat in the incision area as this is a sign of infection. I hope you don't have one but I think your best to get it checked out! I also never had any kind of leakage from day one of the operation. Hope all goes well! Take care of yourself.

It was normal for me. I only had discharge in the Castle when I used the restroom. I was there six days and after day four I never had any discharge or spotting and I am now nine weeks out. I do not miss it!!!

I didn't have any bleeding or spotting after 3 days post op. It's a beautiful thing!
You incision may be getting infected. I had one staple that got infected also. It was no big deal. The doc put my on antibiotics and it cleared up in a few days. My incision has healed perfectly.

Good thing you are going to get the staples out tomorrow. They can check the incision for infection then. I had no bleeding from my surgery except when they took out the cath and I pee'd the first time there was a small amount when I wiped. Since then - nothing. Woo hoo!!!!

Haven't had any spotting since coming home from the castle 6 weeks ago.

No bleeding for me either! I asked my doc today when he took my staples out and he said some do some don't.

I was red where my staples went in, but not warm, I'm sure they'll check it tomorrow for you.

I had no discharge or bleeding at all once I left the hospital (I was there for five days).

I don't miss it either; I feel lucky!

Having the staples out doesn't hurt a bit, and it will give them a chance to check out the incision for infection. Hope you don't have one!

I am so envying all of you with little or no spotting! Believe me, you really are blessed. I had a 'suprapubic blood clot' form and it is now 'lysing' through the vaginal cuff and feels like a really heavy period (this is what I've been told by my GYN). I am SO READY to get rid of this! I am still very happy to read about others who don't have any problems and it really does make me feel hopeful. Glad you all posted here and I could read it!
