Have any other women out there experienced any post surgical vaginal bleeding? Not the right time in my cycle. I'm 4 days post op, and already down 10 lbs from night before surgery. Maybe the rapid weight loss messing with hormone levels??

I hadn't had my period since a D&C 18 months ago and now I'm spotting every few days (very lightly). Anyone else post-menopausal who experienced bleeding/spotting post surgery? I'm five months since sleeved.

Thanks

Hello all,

I direct this specifically to JudyFL. Any post menopausal bleeding is cause for alarm. No amount of new hormones should cause a post menopausal woman to restart her period. How long since you had a period? I was two years past and started to bleed; it turned out to be the earliest stage of endometrial cancer. I haven't been sleeved yet, but I urge you to get to your gynecologist at the earliest opportunity. It could be nothing or it could save your life. It did mine.

I got mine 2 days after surgery too! Glad to see it's normal.

I was over here thinking I was being a whole entire hypercondriac. Thank you for this forum ladies. Today marks 7 days post op. Day 3 I was bleeding like I was starting my cycle lol... God only knows the crazy thoughts that went through my head. I am very tired & its most likely from my lack of protein & hydration. I'm going to get on top of it today. Thanks!

Hi all. I also am dealing with similar issues. I have the nuvaring and not even spotted in 5 years. I got down to my current weight before surgery but gained some after being canceled so many times due to covid and getting discouraged. I am now down 21 pounds since surgery on March 23rd. I started bleeding 3 days after surgery and bled for 5 days. Then a week later spotted for a day and spotting again today (hopefully for just the day). I have noticed when I am close to spotting I get extra tired a day or two before. My cramping was extreme one the first occasion but not on the spotty days. I'm hoping that my nuvaring will help me be more regular than those that use the pull but it's still irregular and spotty and not on a schedule at all. I use the ring because it worked for well for me and stopped my terrible periods years ago. I'm hoping once I level out more, that I will also at least become regular or it stops again period.

I’m not post menopausal but I have had breakthrough bleeding even while on the pill ever since surgery. Sorta Weird but that’s hormones for ya.

I had spotting two days after surgery that continued for 6 days. My cycle is irregular (PCOS) and I’m not on BC. Extreme stress whether physical or mental can cause sudden menstruation.

Yes! I’m four days post op and started bleeding this morning. I haven’t had a period in 4 years since I’m on the mirena. I was ✨shook✨
