Post Lap Chole Vaginal Bleeding

[willow54]

I am 10 days post lap chole gallbladder removal.  I'm a 34 year old woman.  I am on the Depo shot for birth control (the last shot I received was July 9th - my next one is due in October), therefore, I never get a period.  However, 5 days post surgery, I got my period and I still have it.  Is this normal?  I thought maybe it started because I was straining so hard to have a bowel movement.  My last pap test was at the end of April and it was normal.  Now, I'm worried something may be really wrong.  Is this common - my situation?

Good job!  I'm not in legal, but I'm suspicious enough to want multiple sources of information.  :-)

Yes - his office said because of the "trauma" of the surgery, I could have some break through bleeding - it's nothing to worry about - I work in the legal field so I like to get a couple opinions - I don't rely on what one doctor says.  So, I posted here - to get a few opinions.

I don't think it's connected to the surgery.  Have you consulted your gynecologist yet?
