Me AGAIN. I have been bleeding for 17 days. That has never happened to me before. I feel tired and drained. It is not super heavy, but it is there. (My periods are normally extremely heavy and about 5 days long).
I had surgery on May 13th, I had 1 tube (my only remaining after an ectopic pregnancy last September) tied (here they remove half the tube for a tubal ligation). I started my period a week later.
When I went to my followup appointment, my doctor told me that I had endometriosos, diagnosed while in surgery. So I had my tubes tied and still have to take birth control, to control the endometriosis.
So my concerns are, could I be bleeding for so long in any way because of the surgery? Or could it be because of the endo?
My other concern is, I just recently started having pain that I can now attribute to the endo (like the last few months). And I have been having mild pain this whole time I have had this bleeding. Could it be worse than endo?
This really sucks. Thanks for your help.



Hi there,
I wouldn't expect you to be bleeding 17 days after surgery.
