Question 1

could bright rectal bleeding be a symptom of chronic appendicites in a 21yo?gone after surgery

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Recovery from any surgery is variable with ups and downs. Resolution of bright red rectal bleeding is likely a coincidence as well as a benefit. If bleeding recurs, get an evaluation with your regular doc. Be well.

Accepted Answer

Several: Any significan bleeding would present with distention and pain of the abdomen, fast heart rate, lower blood pressure with fatique and sometimes dizzy or woozy feeling. Skin would be pale and perhaps clammy. Mouth would be dry. Hope this helps  -  good luck.

Question 4

after a septoplasty why would bleeding occur from 7- 10 days after surgery.why these specific days and not before.am scared to go out during those day?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Bleeding can occur at any time after surgery until you are healed. At day 7-10 the body has released chemicals to break up clotted blood. Sometimes a clot is removed from a blood vessel and it starts to bleed. Be careful and you should be fine.

Question 5

what is the best treatment for bleeding after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are very many factors that go into post-surgical bleeding. What surgery was performed? Where is the bleeding? Are there any medications or medical conditions that may promote the bleeding? Some bleeding may be very simple to control by applying direct pressure. Other bleeding may improve with medications or transfusions, while some may require return to the operating room.

Question 6

what is the best way to predict whether or not someone will have a bleeding tendency after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Blood tests: Blood tests can be done before the surgery to test for pt, ptt, platelet count and even platelet function.  Family history of a bleeding disorder can also be an important clue that may alert your doctor to do extra testing.

Question 7

how much bleeding is normal after a d&c and hysterscopy (polypectomy)?  i have bleeding that seems comparable to a normal period 4 days after surgery.

Accepted Answer

That's normal: Bleeding comparable to a normal period is well within what is expected and is definitely safe.  The only time a woman should be concerned if she has much more bleeding than a normal period, free bleeding (a steady stream of blood), prolonged bleeding for much longer than a period, or if she becomes light-headed with heavy or prolonged bleeding.  It sounds like you are doing fine.

Question 8

what's the best way to predict whether or not patients will have a bleeding tendency after surgery?

Accepted Answer

A careful: Personal and family history of bleeding with prior physiologic stress, including surgery.

Question 9

my daughter had surgery for appendicitis less than 24 hrs ago - she is now bleeding vaginally - is that normal after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Probably fine: She's probably having some breakthrough bleeding resulting from the stress of having surgery.

Question 10

my mother had hysterectomy 5 months back , is it possible of bleeding and low haemoglobin level after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: While it is possible that the low haemoglobin is related to the hysterectomy, most patients recover to relatively normal levels within a few months of surgery. Late bleeding from a hysterectomy is fairly rare. You did not indicate the reason for the hysterectomy. If it was for non-cancer reasons, your mother's haemoglobin should have resolved by now. I would encourage her to have this evaluated.
