I had the above two weeks ago and have been bleeding since not spotting or discharge but just like a period. Yesterday it became heavier which I am worried about. I am in my 60's does anyone know how long this is likely to go on?

    I'm five weeks post op for the same as you, plus a sacrospinous fixation. I still have the discharge but not real bleeding. If at all worried always contact your GP or surgeon.

    This is something to be querying with your Surgeons office.

      It is reassuring to contact peers on this forum and even if it is something which needs to be investigated by health professionals at the end of the day,  speaking to those who are going through the same experience is valuable, and I believe wholly appropriate.

      Yes who wouldn't agree, BUT the person with the query gave no indication as to whether or not she was also contacting health professionals.

      Yes I have contacted professionals just wanted to know whether I was worrying unnecessarily as I thought that's what these forums were for.

      It is a worry, and we all worry at different levels, I'm the world's worst! We are all individuals and our healing will differ, as will our symptoms. I've found these forums really helpful, I can't believe so many women are going through what we're going through. Today I am going to phone the hospital for additional reassurance, I've phoned once before and they put my overactive mind at rest.

      Good luck with your recovery, outside we appear to be well, inside our bodies have been tugged and shoved about. YouTube reminds me of that! 😳

      Yes definitely good luck with your recovery. Onward and upward as they say.

      Yes for sure. But you also need to let us know that health professionals have been consulted too. Bleeding excessively is not to be dicked around with.
