Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Having that much bruising and discoloration is some what unusual.
So you once consult gynecologist and get examined.
If she advices better to go for complete blood picture and coagulation profile once.
If the discoloration is due to local manipulation during surgery, that will resolve soon.
If there are any coagulation abnormalities, you may need to transfuse the required factors.
If there is any local infection, antibiotics are suffice.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
