Hi Everyone, i had my total hysterectomy done on 31st January, after some slight bleeding that stopped for almost a week, i have for the last 2 weeks had a constant (very light) amount of discharge - sometimes pink, sometimes a darker colour. Its not been bright red. It also seems to be slightly more after activity. I know from all the correspondence they gave me, and from reading online that you can have this on and off until fully recovered. I was just wondering what other people's experiences were and when it all stopped for them? thank you.
Hi 70cw
I was told that this was something that may happen- slight bleeding, discharge etc. They said to contact hospital if there was heavy bleeding or it was painful.
Sometimes when you start doing a bit too much, this can cause a bit of bleeding in some ladies. It is good to be active and for example go for a gentle wander, but no lifting, heavy housework etc. Twisting movements can cause discomfort- so like hoovering. I would tend to rest and then get up and move around a bit each hour. And I built up slowly.
I didn't experience any post op bleeding or discharge but I did feel it when I over did things.
if you do have any concerning symptoms there should be a number on your discharge paperwork to call for reassurance. You can also give the Support Line a call and talk to one of the nurses.

Sounds like a good plan. Hopefully it will settle down soon.
