Hi everyone :d
just found this board. Brief introduction. I am 32 years old. Just had a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy on january 14th due to endometriosis, adenomyosis, heavy periods. Everything removed except for my remaining right ovary. I had the surgery done out of state up in virginia. We live in north carolina. My post-op was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Dr never did an exam to check how everything was healing. Anyway, this is what has been going on. Been bleeding since the surgery. Bright pink with some bright red blood. Went to a local ob/gyn last thursday, who cauterized a tear. Had to go back monday to have it recauterized due to it not holding. She noted that not only do I have the tear but also my vaginal cuff looked like a badly skinned knee with bright red blood oozing out of several areas. Well, yesterday, I started bleeding again. Call dr up in virginia who said this was normal. Dr here who saw how things looked said this is not normal. What should I do? It is heavy bleeding when I first get up in the morning. Is this normal? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
tara s
