Question 4

3 months post pelvic prolapse surgery.  went to pelvic pt yesterday.  staining today. menopausal for 2 years.  is staining reason for concern?

Accepted Answer

Mesh?: Prolapse surgery with some spotting after surgery?  Hard to know so would suggest you check in with your prolapse surgeon.  If you had a mesh reconstruction, you need to think about an extrusion of mesh vaginally.  With uterine preservation, need to think about post-menopausal bleeding.  Tough question with limited information....Sorry.
