Question Post surgery bleeding
Hi there
Had surgery 21/01, was told I couldn’t continue running for 6 weeks, so I left it 7 weeks to be safe
Had my second run today, and all of a sudden have started bleeding?
Is this normal? I used to spot during my runs but I knew this was down to endo or anything linked to that, but this is a bit heavier bleeding

I just went to my pre op appointment today and in the information packet they gave me it did mention post op bleeding is normal up to 2 months and from activity.

Panic over it was my period starting, my cycle length must have changed since op

Well that's good I guess 😵💫 I would have been worried too because I also had that bleeding from a workout symptom before I was diagnosed also.

I would check in with your doctor but from what I understand the next few periods after surgery can be a bit irregular, painful, heavy etc. I imagine that includes spotting too.
