After Giving Birth To A Baby 19 Weeks Ago I Have Visited My Doctor Constantly Because Of Irregular Bleeding?
after giving birth to my beautiful baby girl 19 weeks ago i have visited my doctor numerous times complaining of irregular bleeding and genrally feeling run down and aching all the time i was offered an ultra sound scan that reveiled a mass inside my uterus which i was told was retained placenta. i was admitted to hospital straight away for a d and c to remove it, after an internal examination and blloods taken i was sent home and told to return in 4 weeks for another scan. i am now very worried because surely if it was retained placenta they would have kept me in femoved it as planned. im only 29 and cant help thinking the worse and what,s more nobody is telling me whats going on. can any one shed any light on this for me? has any one had the same experiences as me? i just this all very confusing as to why my hospital sent me home after practically admitting me and telling what treatment iwould recieve. please help.
this is a question for your doctor, not someone on yahoo. I am a doctor and cant answer this for you.
keep ringing or going back to your doctors to get to the bottom of this sorry can’t help but best advice is doctors all the time .
keep shouting until somebody hears you. (at your gp’s surgery).
I know it is unhelpful but only the people treating you can answer these questions. It may not have been a retained placenta once they did an internal, it may be a fibroid or a poylp. Try not to think the worse, if they thought it was serious they would have admitted you or carried out further investigations. They may want to wait to see if whatever is on the scan shrinks with your uterus.
Try to take care of yourself & your litlle girl by eating healthily & get as much rest as you can. & if you continue to feel unwell go back to the docs in the meantime.
