Post-op bleeding after step 2 - now clots????

It's usually completely normal. However, if it's constant and copious, give your doctor a call. Otherwise, don't worry too much.

Mine did the the same thing.
it started doing it a week or two after surgery
My surgeon said it was normal in some folks. A small vessel was damaged in the surgery

So the bleeding is increasing and now I am passing small clots. Is this still normal?

Thanks so much...trying not to be a nervous nellie but not entirely succeeding.

If it hasn't resolved by now, you should call your doctor.

Thanks, Jan.

I ended up having a lot of bleeding on Sunday overnight. It wasn't just in the toilet, I had to wear pads - 2 of which I bled through. Weird stuff coming out too.

Yesterday morning, the bleeding had stopped. My Dr ordered a blood test and said if it continues, I would need a pouchoscopy to check.

Bleeding started again last night, but not nearly as much. Just passing some with small clots when using the washroom.

I have updated my Dr and am waiting to hear.
