Normal post operative bleeding lasts from several days to several weeks after surgery. After the first couple of days the bleeding turns into spotting, usually dark red but sometimes bright red. Then in most instances, the bleeding stops for good. Sometimes there may be a burst of bleeding at about 2-3 weeks if there was a collection of blood clot in the pelvis from right after the surgery. And occasionally at about 2 - 8 weeks after surgery, there may be some bright red vaginal spotting due to suture dissolving.
Everyone has heard the advice, Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.. That's about 1.9 liters, which isn't that different from the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Although the 8 by 8 rule isn't supported by hard evidence, it remains popular because it's easy to remember.
You are probably all aware of the âcardinal ruleâ that says adults should drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. The truth is, this is an estimate and the actual amount you should be drinking per day can vary quite significantly.
