How Long Will I Bleed After Laparoscopy?

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Orleans, LA

I had my first laparoscopy 3 days ago and I'm bleeding pretty heavily. How long will this last and when should I get worried that something is wrong?

I've only had 1 laparoscopy, happened to be around my period anyway, lucky me. It seemed to be heavier than normal, but as I have always been told by my doctors.... if you are filling a pad an hour, then you need to go to the hospital.

Both after my first and second Laparoscopy I flowed for about 4-5 days. On day 1-3 it was heavy but after that it started getting better. Good luck

The post-op info I was given said that bleeding is normal but if it gets heavier all of a sudden and/or there are large clots then you should call your gyno or go to emergency.
