discharge after cerclage

ladyebby1 - 08:07am Nov 2, 2007 EST

can anyone tell me what their discharge looked like after having a cerclage put in please? I know they said to expect some spotting for a couple days...and also i may have mucous discharge..but im having both at the same time...and its looks pretty scary...kind of reminds me of a mucous plug..i did call the dr and they said it is normal as the procedure was just done yesterday....they said to come in if there is a constant trickle or gushing...the dischArge isnt a whole lot...its mainly when i wiped..once today when i wiped there appeared to be a lot to me...but then after more bathroom trips, its not that much anymore....i hvn had any bright red blood or anything..

Re: discharge after cerclage

Some amount of discharge is typical with a cerclage. I know my dr said the cerclage is a bit of an irritant to your cervix so it tends to to react by making more mucus (gross, I know).

My dr said as long as it wasn't bright red (indicating a new bleed) that I shouldn't be concerned.

If you are worried don't hesitate to ask your OB, that is what they are there for!

Good Luck,
Jackie

Re: discharge after cerclage

Having discharge after a cerclage is very normal...it is also very different for each person. If you are worried please call your doctor as only he/she can determine if it is ok for you.

I've had 2 cerclages. The first time I had discharge that was very watery and pink for a few days and the second time I remember it being a bit thicker and more brownish, but both times it only lasted a couple of days.

I wish you the best! Please call your doctor if you are worried or unsure!
