Is Vaginal Leakage Of Clear Liquid Post Radical Hysterectomy A Cause For Concern?
My cousin just had a radical hysterectomy three weeks ago for cervical cancer. 28 lymph nodes removed and no evidence of cancer spreading. Today she started leaking a clear, odorless fluid filling two pads rather quickly and going through her clothes. She called the on-call doctor who advised it is part of the healing process and if it didn t clear up to see a gynecologist. It s a Saturday and only urgent care and ER available. Is this a normal process? Reason for alarm?

Leakage of clear fluid post hysterectomy is rightly described by your gynecologist as part of healing process. I suggest you to remain under supervision of your gynecologist and visit him / her at regular intervals.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
