Had Hysterectomy Done. Getting Mucus From Nose, Vaginal Bleeding And Discharge. Infection?
Question: I had a hysterectomy almost 4 weeks ago. Still having significant discharge (no longer bleeding), and started with navel pain two days ago. Now, blowing BRIGHT yellow mucus from my nose. Could I have an infection?
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Normally after a hysterectomy you will experience some vaginal bleeding and discharge. This will be less discharge than during a period but it may last up to six weeks.
I do not see any reason for worry at this time.
Mucus from nose may be a sign of viral infection. It has nothing to do with surgery.
Please seek medical attention if you have:
>Increasing pain in abdomen
>change in discharge pattern, flow and characteristic
>fever
>Vomiting
>discharge continues beyond 6 weeks.
I hope this helps.
Wishing you speedy recovery and good health.
Regards,
Dr.Pragnesh
