Is Bleeding After a (5wks)total Hysterectomy Normal?
Posted: 07-08-07 13:36pm

Everyone has been giving their advice on how to take it easy during my recovery and I have been trying not to do much, but some things have to be done that a mother just has to do that I hoped I still did within moderation of my health. I noticed some spotting pink color one day then later that night I felt a sort of gush and I went to check and it was red blood like during my cycle, but not pouring but enough to fill a pantyliner
I change and put my feet up for the rest of the day staying off my feet only to use the restroom and it seem to slow down and then stop for now
should I be worried and report it to my doctor at my 6 wk check up? Could it mean I ruptured something?

1st of all, welcome to ehealth. I know how difficult it is not to stay down after surgery also, Yes, let the dr know at your 6 week check-up that you did experience some bleeding and if it starts up again and if the pain gets worse I would call the dr. Good Luck! I hope things get better for you!

I plan to inform the doctor of the bleeding at my check up no doubt. But until the appt. My question still is it normal to have the bleeding? Has anyone experienced this and the soreness like you had when you first came home, if so what did you do? I am just wondering should I be more concerned. Did I bust open the inside or something? I am just hoping someone has experienced this or understand my fear. Thank you to everyone who responded. I appreciate your feedback a great deal. It really helps.
