Question : I am 4 weeks post lavh. I felt great the first 2.5 weeks post with little to no discharge, pain, etc. Then I started to have light spotting, mainly on tissue when wiping. Two days ago, I had a stabbing pain up my vagina when finishing urinating. The pain begin subsiding as soon as it began and was over within 5 mins. I had more bleeding/spotting for a few hours after but seems to be fine now. Is this normal or should I have this checked out? On top of this, I developed a head cold with coughing. My abdomen is very sore which i am assuming is from the coughing. Should I be concerned that I have done any damage?

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Welcome to Health Care Magic.
My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.......

I hereby wanna assure you that after LAVH this having spotting and bleeding is quite frequent and normal.

This can happen for a couple of months in patients.

If you don't have any tender abdomen ... and there are no fevers and heavy vomiting,

I wanna assure you that things are expected to get better soon.

If this thing persists for a a month more, get worsened or doesn't seem to settle then you should be concerned.

Keep in touch with your Gynae n obs during this period,

and when ever you have issues which are really of concern talk to attending or get to ER.

But i wanna assure you again that this is normal,

eat healthy, stay active but dont over exert,and drink much water. stay blessed.

...

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad.
