Had Novasure Procedure. Getting Smelly Light Red Discharge. Any Infection?
Question: I had the novasure procedure on January 7th 2013 and I am having a smelly light red discharge. I also noticed a few clumps in my discharge. I am very concerned that I may have some type of infection. I am 45 yrs old.
Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing to us.
Slight discharge which may be reddish, brownish or yellowish is normally seen either immediately or after a couple of weeks later following the procedure. If it turns greenish or smells bad, there must be infection.
As you have a smelly discharge, you should get an examination done by your gynecologist to exclude infection. Though it is an office procedure, as it involves introduction of a foreign body, chances of infection are present. Meanwhile keep yourself clean by washing the private parts with mild antiseptic solution.
The clumps could possibly be shed endometrial epithelium. I advice you to get instructions from your doctor after an examination.
Hope I have clarified your doubts. If you need any further clarifications, please feel free to ask. I will be happy to help.
regards,
Shanti.V.
