Hi, Thanks for reply. !0 cm of fibroid is a quite big one. Your doctor has done a good job. If the uterine edometrial cavity is opended during surgery, the serum may come out from vagina , which is almost clear. When blood get clotted, serum ozzes out of it and it is almost clear or slighty reddish white. You should be normal in some time Dr.Narayan Patel M.D. D.G.O.
