Recurred Bleeding, Nausea, Loss Of Appetite, Cramping After 5 Weeks Post Op From Hysterectomy. Normal?
Hi. I'm 5 weeks post op from a total hysterectomy. I started bleeding last week and my dr fixed it with silver nitrate. The bleeding stopped for a couple of days, but has started back again. I'm also having the following symptoms: nausea, no appetite, sick feeling, cramping and cant apply any pressure to my stomach without discomfort. I don't want to be "that patient" that complains about everything. Can you tell me if these symptoms are normal this far into post op?
