Re: I know it's been talked about .. bleeding afterwards ....
As long as it isn't lots (period like) it sounds like part of the healing process.
Mine finally stopped ... I think at 6 weeks, thank God! I don't want to see any more now ....

Re: I know it's been talked about .. bleeding afterwards ....
Glad yours stopped but spotting has not yet. Went for 6 week post-op check yesterday and I am still not healed up internally. He actually used silver nitrate to cauterize areas in there and I have to return again in 2 weeks. Poor hubby- that means 2 more weeks for him as well. Actually- not really...Dr said in about a week if I have absolutely NO SPOTTING at all, we are okay- but if I do, we have to wait. At least I know it is almost over for good!

That first sentence was supposed to say MY spotting hasn't stopped yet.

Re: I know it's been talked about .. bleeding afterwards ....
My dr was going to cauterize mine, if I didn't stop bleeding, at my 8 week follow up app't (next week).
Tell me ... did the exam hurt? I am afraid for next week .....

Not a bit! Neither did the cauterizing. He actually did a quick internal at 4 weeks and it didn't hurt then either. Hopefully it will be the same for you!

"that" area hasn't seen the light of day in many moons! I'm just worried about pain plus bleeding.
Hope my dr is as good as yours!

Donna, my 6 week checkup didn't hurt either and I was worried about the abrasion. She was real quick, in and out, basically to see if the vaginal cuff was healing properly.

Re: I know it's been talked about .. bleeding afterwards ....
Hi, no I was cauterized because the doctor who 'delivered' the uterus through my vagina caused an abrasion that was bleeding immediately after my surgery. They cauterized while I was still on the table. I still feel the abrasion. The only way that I found this out was that I was having discomfort on the right side on my vagina and I asked for a copy of my surgical report. That's when I found out that I was cauterized for the abrasion.
