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.
As per the Institute of Medicine, men should consume 125 ounces of water every day â it's about 3.7 liters and equals a gallon. Women, on the other hand, should consume at least 91 ounces or 2.7 liters of water daily. Since about 25% of water your body needs comes from the food you eat, men need to drink thirteen 8-ounce cups of water daily and women should aim to drink about nine 8-ounce cups of water a day.
