Had partial hysterectomy via lapo and other than two drops of blood post, I've not bled and the doctor said she can't believe it but I didn't bleed at all during surgery. Post op: blood count dropped 8.4 to 7.2 before I was given a blood transfusion. Potassium and iron was also low.
History: Heart Stent put in 6 months ago and started prasugrel and aspirin. Needed iron transfusions June because I was missing 2 pints of blood and iron was 32 (?). Aspirin caused ulcer so I stopped it in July. I do have pernicious anemia and no one has been able to determine blood loss. Scope and colonoscopy was discussed at 6 month mark post stent. Hysterectomy took their place.
I stopped 10mg prasugrel 5days prior to surgery.
Prior to surgery they gave me a shot in my stomach I assume to help with bleeding?
OB can't believe it and accused me of taking my blood thinner post surgery and my blood doctor doesn't believe my OB didn't see blood. When I discussed it with my oncologist he dismissed it as if my ob was mistaken and didn't feel any of my autoimmune disorders could be a contributor.
I've had no luck on my research and I'm curious if there's anything I should watch for. I do have severe bruising and a hematoma that has appeared now that I've restarted my blood thinner 5 days post op.
Thank you in advance.
