I am really excited about stunbling across this forum in one of my general google searches.

I hope I use it properly, so please forgive me if I don't as have never used a forum before!

One of the many questions you don't think to ask your surgeon is 'what will I smell like down there?'

I am 2 weeks post surgery now. I still have some light blood loss, which is looking much more like the 'end of period' I was told it would resemble. It isn't what I would call 'fishy' but it does have a strong smell. Is this what happens when stitches start to decompose?

    Hi, helen:  I had the same problem.  I had my surgery in the USA three weeks ago. It turned out that I had a bladder infection and a yeast infection all at once.  The odor was horrible...I have it all cleared up now, and I'm normal...really enjoying not having that awful prolapse....Just check with your doctor...Hope this helps, sweetie..

      You poor thing Carole, that sounds miserable. I assume you had other symptoms at the time? I hope you are ok now.
