HELP!!!😫Extremely heavy bleeding, soaking pad in a matter of seconds

[Endostruggles]

So I had my laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and cystoscopy on Friday 28th feb (9 days ago) where they excised Endo and removed a cyst from my ovary. I started my period a couple days ago anyway, it was rather heavy and very very painful, I also got told Friday that I have Endometritis so I am on a course of co-amoxiclav for a week as well as more tramadol. When I woke up this morning my period felt heavier than usual and a lot more crampy so I went to the toilet and it was just a continuous stream of blood that came out, when I stood up it completely soaked my new pad, underwear, trousers and floor (much to my mothers joy) I have gone as pale as a ghost and just a bit concerned as I’ve never had it literally pour out of me like I’ve just turned a tap on before.... has anyone else had this before?! Is this normal?! 😖😫🥺 the pains in my lower abdomen, pelvis and pubic bone are unreal, feels like I’ve got a burning knife twisting in my skin 😖 the bleeding has slowed down a bit now but still gone through another pad in the last 10mins and now onto the giant maxi pad my stepdad got me from the care home he manages... I honestly thought I was haemorrhaging, my mum sadly has haemorrhaged herself 3 times in her life so I screamed for her and she did look a bit panicked but is keeping an eye on the amount and said it’s a good sign it’s slowing down but it’s honestly just really scared me, never had anything like that before 😣😖😢😢..

That does sound quite worrying, I would at least ring 111 to be on the safe side especially as you have just had surgery. Good luck xxx

Thank you I will give them a call now, I didn’t know if it was worth calling or not but I will get on the phone xxx

Yes I have had this and in the doctors surgery too. So asked through my pads and clothes and chair. It happens all of a sudden and no warning. It’s like it’s pumping out of you. I have adenomyosis and endometriosis x

So there isn’t anything to worry about? I called 111 earlier and they said that very heavy bleeding is common with Endometritis so as long as I’m not literally having it pour out of me continuously I will be okay but If it gets heavier to go to A&E or call them back. I basically just need to stock up on pads and keep taking my antibiotics and hope it clears up. It’s just horrible like I normally suffer from extremely heavy periods anyway, my last one lasted 3 weeks and I got through 4 boxes of tampax plus a ton of pads! But this is just even worse, everytime I go to the toilet or cough or stand up I can literally feel it pouring. Making me feel so ill🤢 I’m so sorry for the TMI🤦🏼‍♀️ yeah they removed Endo and a cyst from my ovary Friday but it just constantly feels like one thing after another! Xx

Yeah I know exactly how you feel.

That’s how I am and the doctor said they can’t do anything for me apart from refer me to gynae. You would think that loosing this amount of blood and soaking through clothes would kind of be an emergency but it’s not treated like that 😢x

I know it doesn’t really seem right! The thing that always scares me at the back of my head is how do I know what’s normal and what’s a haemorrhage as it is literally like turning a tap on it’s scary. Weirdly the pains always seem to ease though when I am in the middle of bleeding but it’s just the cramps before and after that are excruciating 😣 also where it’s only 9 days since my Lap they said I can’t use a tampon and even though I would soak through them rather quickly anyway it makes you a little bit more reassured that there’s the protection from that as well where as only using a bad I get scared that it will just instantly go around the sides 😣 why do we have to suffer and go through these kind of horrific things 😔xx

I had exactly the same thing after my lap, the doctors said as it was ablasion surgery via keyhole it’s the stuff coming out that they had burned off or something like that I had this up to ten days after surgery. Hope this helps

[Endostruggles in reply to Emcoxx]

I had excision surgery, would this still do the same? I’m still bleeding just has heavy days later and don’t know how there is even so much to keep losing 😢

Honestly it’s awful! Maybe call the gynocologist department you was under before and take it easy, hopefully it stops soon! Wishing you a healthy recovery x
