Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I was just wondering. I am about 6 days postop and starting yesterday I started bleeding a little in my mouth. It just starts out of the blue and then I have to spit it out. It isn't much at all but it happened a few times yesterday, several times in the night and several times today. I was just wondering if that has happened to anyone and is is normal. Thanks, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Beth, My guess is you've lost a stitch, and have a minor amount of bleeding from the site where your stitch was previously. The same thing happened to me from days 7-10. But, as with anything, if you're unsure or it causes you concern, don't hesitate to call your surgeon. That's why they get paid the big bucks.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 It is probably not anything significant, but if I were you, I'd call my surgeon's office and just tell 'em what's happening. They can reassure you -- or get you in to see the doc -- far more knowledgeably than we can, as lay people. Cammie > I was just wondering.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi Beth, I had one area in my stitches that broke and i bled from that. My doctor saw it and wanted to make sure of two things: one, that i was taking my penicillin regularly and two, that i was rinsing REALLY WELL after EVERYTHING but water. The other type of bleeding i had was post nasal and i could sort of suck down and get it spit out of my mouth. that was pretty constant and not a worry. it's kind of like clearing your throat of mucus even when we hadn;t had this surgery, but with some blood in it. No concern. I am 16 days post op and doing well. > I was just wondering. I am about 6 days postop and starting yesterday > I started bleeding a little in my mouth.
