Vaginal discharge after Tummy tuck?

Question

I have had a stringy jelly like brown discharge from my vagina since my tummy tuck 7 days ago. Today quite large bits came out. I stopped taking my contraceptive pill 3 weeks before surgery. Is this normal?

There is NO reason you should have vaginal discharge after your tummy tuck.  I would consult your OB to discuss possible causes.

Sorry for your concern and struggle, please call your surgeon, they may recommend you call your primary care doctor, but you do need to be evaluated ASAP.

Joubin Gabbay, MD · Answer

While there may be several straightforward factors that may contribute to this type of vaginal discharge after your operation (hormonal changes, bleeding with catheter placement etc.…), this is not a usual occurrence after Tummy talk/abdominoplasty. I recommend you contact your physician to get further insight.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic
surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has
extensive experience in tummy tuck/abdominoplasty.

I wish you the best.

Dr. Gabbay.

Hello, a tummy tuck typically involves removing some loose skin from the abdomen and does not affect your genital area or any internal organs.  I would suggest booking an appointment with a physician to investigate your vaginal discharge.
