my
mother had a hysterectomy sept 9. Last
week she started losing fluid from her
stitches (blood, puss, etc). She went to
the doctor and was told that it was okay.
But I do not know if I trust that. It
has been almost 3 weeks and this fluid is
still leaking. Has anyone experienced
this before? I am really uneasy about
this situation.

Go again and tell them you are concerned!
And have them explain it to you!

I had a hysterectomy in 1993 and about a
week or so after surgery developed oozing
of my incision (pinkish/yellow discharge).
I thought my incision had come undone,
but come to find out it was a staff
infection and I had to be put on
antibiotics and hot compresses had to be
put on my stomach 2 or 3 times a day for a
week. Check the area around the incision
and where discharge is coming from. If
the area feels very warm or is hard to the
touch, get to the doctor and have them
check for infection.

I had mine about 4 weeks ago and never
once had any discharge go to another dr
for second opinion. Any discharge isnt
bad but after that long I would get it
checked
