Spotting

Hi all

I am having a problem. I have not spotted at all since surgery and now almost 2 weeks post op I am spotting. I have done a bit more than usual the past 2 days but it was worrying me. Is this normal or should I worry??

Totally normal for some and not others. It has nothing to do with doing too much or not. The same thing happened to me. It lasted a few weeks. It was like a brownish pinkish discharge that was just enough to have to wear a panty liner. That is what I did. It finally went away after a few weeks. I have gotten it back once since for just a couple days which was after sex. Doctor claims its the healing process, and sometimes it takes a long time to completely heal. Sometimes you have to have treats of this nitrate stuff and sometimes they have to go back in and get rid of scar tissue which is the most extreme. This will probably go away by itself as bothersome as it is...........hope that helps.....

Thanks that eases my mind. Thank you so much

I guess I should have previewed what I wrote before posting....treats?? That was supposed to be treatments. So sorry.

It really helps to have us all that have gone through this to check in and make sure our sisters are being helped by us veterans.

It sure makes the whole process easier when we find out it's really nothing to worry about. It's not like after you have your kids and you have to take it easy. You still have to take it easy, it just has nothing to do with the whole spotting ordeal.

You think it was the end and you can throw all those pads out and never have to deal again. Oh, it really sucked to have to continue for a few more weeks, but it too shall pass.

Put your feet up and take it easy, and take advantage while you can. Enjoy.................

I'm so glad you asked this question. My surgery was 7/13. I had stopped bleeding by the time I left the hospital and felt great. I woke up this morning with just a little bit of spotting. This too was after I did a few too many things the last couple of days. I also would be starting my period this weekend if I had not had the surgery. I didn't know if this was all related to my body still trying to figure it's new self out, or if I did too much or what. However, I did know where to come to to find the answer.

Thanks Sisters!
