Is Bleeding From Vagina After Appendectomy Expected In A Child?
My 11 year-old daughter had an appendectomy 2 days ago. Today, she has a bloody vaginal discharge. She has not started her period, and I thought that she would be a late bloomer. I can t believe that this is her first period! Could it be related to the surgery?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Bleeding from vagina do not occur after appendectomy, I mean it is not related to appendectomy operation . It may be her Ist menstrual period , if not other causes needs to ruled out.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Take care.
