I did it! I had the surgery and pain was not the problem. I am frightened of bleeding. I was ok until the 6th day when I poured bowls full of blood when I had bowel movements. this went on for 2 days and I thought I was dying. I saw the nurse and she tried to reassure me everything was alright. it settled down to a yellowsh brown discharge. It will be 6 weeks this Monday and I have noticed a slight staining. I am again getting panicky. of course the office is closed and I don't want to call the emergency # because it is not really an emergency. but I just don't understand why there would be some light blood. does anyone know if it accompanies the dissolving of stiches at 6 weeks? would appreciate any answers. thanks. ggm
