Any bleeding 1 week post op needs to be investigated especially if you say it's not geting better. You know youe body better than anyone else get on the phone to the surgeon and make an appoitmtnt to be seen and  maybe have someblood work drawn to make sure you blood count...... is all ok. Be aggressive because the squeaky wheel gets the oil.
Good Luck'

I  would contact my surgeon and tell him what is going on.   I wouldn't give up until I found out what is going on and your surgeon wants you to heal properly.
Peace.
