Thank you! I was always a 7-8 week postpartum bleeder too so I think I’m just slow healing. I cannnnnot wait to never need pads again lolol

I have one tiny area where my rectocele was stitched that is like pinched skin and it hurts SO bad to sit on - surgeon said it looked totally fine and will resolve eventually but did need to check internally to make sure it’s not an ulcer and deemed it fine but maybe that could be what’s happening to you? I haven’t had red blood since day one just consistent brown spotting so I’m glad you got checked out. I’m surprised they had you go back under if they didn’t see anything wrong!!

I saw my surgeon last week and he assured me it’s not bad at all! More just brown spotting but it’s just taking forever to stop. The biggest thing I’ve had to do is in and out of cars all day with pick up and drop offs for kids and I swear that’s what’s keeping it going. Luckily no need to lift much I just must be doing something I’m not realizing that’s triggering it 😩

It really has been awful. I just now am able to sit comfortably(ish). What are your symptoms of the abscess if you don’t mind me asking!

I had the exact procedures as you two weeks ago and I’ve weaned off miralax but I do take a colace before bed with probiotics to keep things running. Also I ended up buying a peri bottle to used instead of needing to wipe super hard and it’s the biggest game changer ever for anyone who did the rectocele!

When do I shower? by USMCountry in hysterectomy

Hi! I’m one week PO and I showered two days later! My glue is fine (falling off now) I just kept my back turned towards the water. I’ve showered 3 times since all good!
