Question 1

i had my 4th c section and tubes tied a little over a week ago and am having orange slimy blood discharge is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: 1 week post surgery may have some of these symptoms, but you need to call your surgeon, as they need to know your post-surgical issues for continuity of care and can examine you to assure all is well post surgically.  Best wishes.

Question 2

is it normal to have smelly discharge after c section?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This can be normal but you also have to think about the possibility of infection if you are running a fever or are very tender over the lower abdomen

Question 3

why causes discharge from c-section years later?

Accepted Answer

Surgical wound: Patients can sometime develop skin infections in an 'old' surgical wound. I have seen cases of wound endometriosis that can cause pain and swelling in a cesarean section wound many years later. Have your surgeon or obgyn take a look at it.

Question 4

is a brownish smelly discharge normal 3 weeks after having a c section?

Accepted Answer

No: Some brownish discharge 3 weeks after c section is not uncommon. Mild transient odor may be acceptable,  however if you have persistent odor, let your OB know.

Question 5

light brown discharge 4 weeks after c-section that stinks. is this normal and how can i stop it?

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: check with your doctor to evaluate for possible infection

Question 6

can i get more pain medication after ive gone through the discharge medication after a c section?

Accepted Answer

Pain Meds: That is a question for your physician. Generally cesarean patients are discharged with an NSAID (Ibuprofen, etc) and a narcotic. The narcotic need only be used for the first 5-7 days after a cesarean so refills usually aren’t given for that.  Discuss with your delivering Obstetrician.

Question 7

on feb 11th i had a c section. the last couple of days i've had mucus like discharge and it looks almost clear. is this normal??

Accepted Answer

Call your OB MD: Give your OB MD a call who will know the answer to your question as he/she actually did the operation.

Question 8

nearly 9 weeks post c section my discharge has changed to green with still a little bit of blood every now and then. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Post CS: Could happen. make sure there is no pain and fever and discharge is not foul smelling. if discharge is foul smelling or itching/ pain, then get some swabs done and see your doctor.

Question 9

what is a cause of a smelly brown  water discharge coming out to much after c section and not every day after 2 to 3 days after no discharge  at all?

Accepted Answer

C section discharge : Call your doctor. It can be an infection

Question 10

i had a c.section 7 months ago and ever since thn my discharge completely disapeared. there's not even a drop coming out could there be somthing wrong?

Accepted Answer

No: it is not an issue of your cesarean section, but more likely the issue of post pregnancy changes affecting vaginal discharge issues. Not to worry. Not uncommon. If any discomfort, abnormal discharge, pain with intercourse, abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain with urination, please see your doctor. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck with your new child
