Normal post operative bleeding lasts from several days to several weeks after surgery. After the first couple of days the bleeding turns into spotting, usually dark red but sometimes bright red. Then in most instances, the bleeding stops for good. Sometimes there may be a burst of bleeding at about 2-3 weeks if there was a collection of blood clot in the pelvis from right after the surgery. And occasionally at about 2 - 8 weeks after surgery, there may be some bright red vaginal spotting due to suture dissolving.
Everyone has heard the advice, Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.. That's about 1.9 liters, which isn't that different from the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Although the 8 by 8 rule isn't supported by hard evidence, it remains popular because it's easy to remember.
Normally trying to drink the right amount of water every day can fix this (side note: the âcorrectâ amount of water for you is half your weight in ounces, meaning a 150lb person should drink 75 ounces per day, equal to 2.25 liters), but most people donât drink that much.
