D/c where?: If the Pink d/c is rectal after the BM, that is not normal and needs to be evaluated for a rectal bleeding. If the D/c is pinkish from the vaginal area, just with recent surgery/?Stitching etc, than that may be normal. Be sure to follow-up with the dr. post procedure, to assure it is all healed up. best wishes.
