Hi had my op Thursday for rectocel and perionoscopy, feel well in myself so far better than expected really, but could anyone advice how long the bleeding lasts, I do not have periods as I had a hysterectomy in 1997 thanks in advance for any reply xx

Difficult question to answer lynn but certainly by about 4 weeks it should have stopped. As long as it doesn't increase and you don't pass a lot if clots then don't worry. After about 2 weeks or earlier it should change from red to brown in colour. Good news that the surgery went well, now the hard part.....rest and no lifting x

If you take Warfarin then you could bleed more than a patient who doesn't take the medication. Obviously you will know your own body and regular blood tests should alter the dose enough to prevent it being a problem. You now know what is normal so you can speak to your GP if bleeding is heavy. At least you only have to wear the sexy stockings for a week, I can remember on this forum quite a while ago one lady was told 6 weeks! xx

Hi , I had rectocele repair, perineorraphy fentons and skin excision a month ago today. I had a pack in for 24hours. After I was discharged I had old bloody discharge some heavy but nothing fir five days then heavy fresh bleeding and clots for three weeks which led to three weeks abx too . Bleeding stopped last Friday and now I have I think horrendous thrush too... my cons said the bleeding could restart when stitched dissolve . The bleeding shouldn't be so heavy ( or odorous) that you're changing pads every hour and a half or big clots .
Hope you recover well
