Spotting 10 weeks post hysterectomy
I had my da Vinci hysterectomy on October 19th, took everything except my ovaries. My vaginal cuff wasn't healing completely and I had some spotting at my 6 week post op so I have had 2 silver nitrate treatments. I hadn't had any spotting since the second treatment a few weeks ago, however tonight there is light pink spotting only when I wipe. It's a very small amount. Is this normal after the treatments or should I go back to the doctor? It's frustrating because I have had non stop doctors appointments since February and I really thought I would be done after the hysterectomy

Re: Spotting 10 weeks post hysterectomy
Hi Mrs2511! I understand where you are coming from. At my 5 week post-op, which was considered my final post-op unless I had issues, I was treated for granulation with silver nitrate. At around 10 weeks, I was treated again because I had red discharge/bleeding from the granulation which didn't resolve the first time around. My doc had set up appointments after the second time to make sure that we nipped it in the bud, since apparently it seemed that I had a large amount the second time. For me, the third time silver nitrate application was a charm. My discharge resolved.
While it is annoying to have to keep going back, I felt better that I was going back to the doc's office to make sure that it was all taken care of so I wouldn't be surprised by any future discharge. It would be worth a call to your doc's office and let them decide if it is something that you need to go back for considering you have had granulation.
It will resolve. It takes some time and patience. Hang in there!

Spotting 10 weeks post hysterectomy
Thank you falfrenzy! I called the doctor this morning and he wants to take the wait and see approach since it was such a small amount and didn't continue thru the night or this morning. If it starts up again he wants to see me tho. I'm just so ready to be healed and have no worries!
