I had an ERPC last Tuesday. I am terrified because today at work ( 1st full day back) I felt so rough. I am confused by the different definitions for post-op infections; I did ring my local hospital but am paranoid uh explained wrong hence the Dr wasn't worried. She said I sounded dehydrated and tired. Are these normal 5 days after ERPC? And some sources say go A&E, others GP! Totally confused.
- a tender tummy. Not horrible pain, very mild.
- bleeding which started 3 days after. Was clotty, is now not. Was red, now not. Average AF quantity. Smells (sorry TMI) like blood but not 'foul' in AMY day, and only when I sniff tissue (gross but how else to check?)
- feeling tired/run down. Slight headache. Like I had a night out then had to work, as I recall from younger days.
-average temp (36.2")
Now all these things to the 'letter of the law' on some websites say infection... But I described to a doc over the phone she said wait 24 hr, rest, just sound run down...
