Can anyone tell me if they have experienced heavy bleeding 3 weeks post surgery for anterior/posterior repair? I had some bleeding immediately following my surgery for about 1 1/2 weeks, then light spotting after. Today, I felt a gush and lots of blood, some clots. The nurse tells me that it's not unusual. Has anyone else had anything similar. Now I have mild cramping as well (also just started today). It was disconcerting and now I'm scared that I've messed something up. Yes, I've been bending to pick things up and I carry my heavy briefcase. I went back to work after 12 days post surgery which may have been too soon.

Ok, so you have cramps too. I'll find out more when I see the doc next week.
I did have the brown discharge before but today it was bright red, as if I had my period. By the way, I had a hysterectomy over 12 years ago, so after not having periods for so long, it did freak me out!

Saw my surgeon 4 days later he examined me saw I had all stitches at back of operation had come on done ,Said no wonder I had bled so much ,he had to corterised the area and said I was back to weeks one again and to be very careful about lifting and bending .luckily everything settled down and I was being very very careful ,think I had done far to much those first few weeks ,with no scar on the outside you don't think to much about inside and there's been a lot of cutting and stitching up , so be careful .i am now 8weeks in and still in pain if I do to much but no bleeding ,I still think I need to slowly down and rest more than I do , but that's me .please go back to see ur doctor or book into see surgeon because it doesn't sound right ,good luck keep me informed how you get on x
