I Had A Bilateral Salpingectomy 2 Months Ago Now Light Brown/pink Discharge What Does This Mean?

Posted on Mon, 5 Feb 2024

Question: Hi, I had a bilateral salpingectomy 2 months ago, on Sept 13. I have had regular periods, but was supposed to get my period, Wed, Nov 22nd. My discharge has occasional SUPER light brown/pink. What does this mean?

Brief Answer:
Normal result

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
There is no need to be worried since such changes in discharge are expected after salpingectomy as there are certain hormonal and physiologic changes after such surgeries. It may take 3-6months for periods to stabilize and become colored as usual. Some problematic issues are excessive bleeding associated with pain and fever or infections at abdominal scars and the you should consult gynecologist. Otherwise, just be patient and look for these worrying signs. Wish you good health.
Regards.

I was gifted my period this morning. Thank you! I have never had irregular periods, even after my surgery, so I was just worried! I know it’s a big change for my body but it just had me nervous. Even knowing I can’t get pregnant! Thank you very much and happy holidays!

You are welcome.

Detailed Answer:
Yes, no need to be worried. Some changes are expected but these are temporary and won't cause serious symptoms. . Pregnancy is not possible after such surgeries, unless there is IVF. So just relax. Have nice holidays as well. Regards
