Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Why Do I Have Vaginal Bleeding Since The Laproscopic Gall Bladder Surgery ?
I have been vaginally bleeding since December 18th. I had a baby last March, and laprisopic gallbladder surgery in November. The bleeding started out light to moderate, but in the past two weeks has become very heavy. I'm going through tampons every hour or two. Any idea what could be going on and what I should ask my gyno?

Hi, Laperoscopic gall bladder surgery is not likely to cause profuse vaginal bleeding. So vaginal bleeding seems to be a separate entity,following your delivery in March. If you are breast feeding/ weaning, you are likely to get menstrual irregularity due to hormonal imbalance. you need to get treatment for excessive bleeding,as it leads to anemia & weakness,which in turns increases bleeding. Please visit your Gynecologist & give your detailed history. You will be subjected to detailed physical examination, blood testing& genital ultrasonography if needed. this will point out the causative factor-followed by treatment plan. usually a course of hormones is given for three months,along with healthy diet/iron,vitamin,calcium supplement.in such cases to help in normalizing menses. Thanks.
