Recovery
You may have mild pain and discomfort for a few days. Your doctor might prescribe oral antibiotics to prevent infection. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers.
A small amount of discharge or minor bleeding for a few weeks is normal. A pantyliner is usually sufficient enough to handle this.
Follow your doctor’s instructions for cleaning and caring for the area. This may include taking one or two sitz baths a day for a few days.
Until you’re fully healed and your doctor gives you the go-ahead, don’t:
. Engage in sexual activity
. Use tampons
. Use powders or other similar products
. Use harsh soaps or fragranced bathing products
You should be able to resume normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks.
Follow up with your doctor as recommended to ensure that you’re healing properly.

6 Days After surgery very little amount of bleeding (as much bleeding as there is in the pants) with little bad smell. Is that normal ?
Hello, This is normal, and should be gone in 1-3 days. You may have vaginal bleeding for up to a week after the surgery; this is also normal. You will be given a prescription for pain medicine. Call your caregiver if the medicine is not relieving your pain.
