Had Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Fallopian Tubes, One Ovary Removed, Endometrial Cancer, Treated, Having Light Pink Spotting. Is This Cause For Alarm?

I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy on July 1 with cervix , fallopian tubes , and one ovary removed. I had endometrial cancer and everything was okay after the surgery. There was no need for chemo. The cancer had not spread beyond the uterine lining. They also took some lymph nodes to check and everything was okay. Nothing wrong with the ovaries either. The healing has been fine except I had some spotting last week (very light--no need for a pad) and again today. It is pink in color. They told me the stitches would take several months to dissolve. Is this cause for alarm?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You are having pink spotting due to healing granulation tissues & it can persist upto 3 months.
However for confirmation consult your doctor & get local examination done.
Take care
