Bleeding, Swelling And Pain After Hysterectomy. Posted: 03-06-04 19:43pm
I had a total abdominal hysterectomy on
february 16'th,2004. I woke up to a very
swollen and bruised stomache. I am on
week 3 post op and have begun to bleed
bright red blood, as opposed to the brown
discharge I was having before. Not alot,
but any fresh blood kind of has me
worried. I also have had alot of pain
abdominally and much swelling as well. My
stomache is swollen so much that it hangs
over my incision, making for a bad healing
environment as far as the incision goes.
Is the bright red bleeding anything to
worry about or is it something that will
pass? I just thought that at almost 4
weeks post op things would be going better
by now. Any advice or knowledge is
appreciated.

I am 42 and had a hysterectomy last
november, I was bleeding right after my
surjury, I was bleeding out and had to
have additional surjury... I have several
forums here please feel free to read
them.. The swelling I your stomach and
bleeding is not normal. Please seek
another dr's medical advice.. Good luck
and keep in touch! :d

I had a total hysterectomy at 42 &
despite being way overweight (& I did
bleed for about 7-10 days) I had no other
real trouble other than normal healing
pain/discomfort.
See another dr or if you still rtust the
one who did the op demand attention &
exploratory surgery & document
everything that has happened & that
has been done & what you ask for &
are told & what is & is not done
etc. Threaten legal action. That often
gets them to act faster!!
