It is my understanding that discharge can vary in duration, amount and color following any type of procedure that involves your uterus, cervix etc. As long as there is no odor or you are not soaking pads there probably is nothing wrong. Please call your Dr. since you are concerned. This is a valid reason for calling them. They will NOT think you are crazy or bothering them.

Give them a call and give yourself peace of mind. Good Luck.
