Nurse With Wound

Hey everyone, I'm was just hoping anyone can relate to this issue I'm having.

I'm 11 weeks post-op and a couple of weeks ago I started to get blood in my douche water after dilating as well as a yellowy discharge in the entrance of the vagina.

Last week I had a check-up and the surgeon confirmed that there was granulation tissue at the top of my vaginal canal. He treated it there and then with silver nitrate and all seemed good for the first few days. Yesterday the bleeding and discharge started again, seemingly suddenly too. Though I've been told to leave it for 3 weeks since the treatment before getting any more from my GP. So has anyone else had like the water from douching go red with blood and did you seem much improvement after the silver nitrate? Did it seem to start up again and then back off without further treatments? Or how long did it take to clear up and how many treatments did it need?

The fact that the water after douching is quite bloody is worrying me a bit so I was hoping someone else could relate to it. I hope there's not an infection up there.  :(
Scaring away, my ghosts.

You could have a look here:

And usually the water dilutes... if there is a wound usually the recommendation is to press something against it so it can stop... like a dilator...
if in doubt ask your doc...

I'm afraid I don't have any experience with your actual question, but I did want to reassure you that it's amazing how little blood it takes for *all* the water to go bloody. (Like, my wife peeing with her period will turn the whole bowl bright red, and that has to be a few drops of blood at best!) So if you're primarily seeing bloody douche water, keep in mind that it might be as little as a few drops of blood mixing with a lot of water; if you wear a pad or pantiliner and don't see much blood on it, there's probably no immediate cause for concern. Brassard's rule of thumb for "too much blood" was completely soaking a full-sized pad every few hours, in fact... Similarly, if there's no large amounts of unexpected green or bright yellow discharge, foul odor, or fever, it probably isn't an infection.

You definitely should check with your surgeon or GP - whichever seems appropriate - if you're concerned, but there's no need to panic in the meantime. :)

I bled a bit after granulation being treated but it was on the entrance not all the way in. Had silver nitrate twice so far. It never got worse days later though.
I will touch a 100 flowers and not pick one.
