Madge - I sent you a PM. Didn't want to go into too much detail on here - LOL

I called and got to talk to the nurse. She said this is normal.

hcora - I would call the doctor if I were you.

I think to be on the safe side you should call your doctor and see what they think.  The MD after my name stands for Mom Dept. LOL.......

I'll send you an email. It could be the stitches for sure.

What is This Smell and Spotting?  


Around week 3 or 4, after you have stopped spotting, the dissolving stitches in your vaginal cuff start .... dissolving! This means you might notice new spotting and perhaps something icky-looking thread-like bits in your panties. These are the stitches ~ they are very small and might be gray or purple-ish.

The dissolving fibers of these stitches seem to add to the discharge with an odor that isn't always pleasant and you may wonder about it. You should find that once the stitches are all dissolved and the healing has taken place, the odor plaguing you will be gone!

If the smell persists for more than a couple of days and if you have any fever, call the doctor.

And remember! ~ No douching allowed

I have that ammonia smell too and some wetness on my pantyliners. This is something new that just started happening to me. I did a search, which I shouldn't have done because it said a fistula! This sometimes can happen after a hysterectomy.

I will be calling my doctor tomorrow if I still have it today.

Madge reassured me that it could also be the stitches dissolving, which makes sense.

hcora - have you had your hysterectomy yet?

Are you drinking plenty of water each day?  You should be drinking 8 large glasses atleast per day. Sometimes, if you are not drinking enough water, that can make your urine very strong.  Is the color dark yellow or is it clear? Is urine cloudy?
