Senior Member Pulpedfiction1 Posted July 29, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'm 4 days post-op and still getting blood on my pillowcase. Is this to be expected at this point? If so, when should it stop? If it's relevant, my hair was short (1/2 inch) at the time of my HT, so the donor scar isnt yet covered with hair. Thanks.

Senior Member nathaniel Posted July 29, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2013 To clarify, the blood is from the scar and not the recipient site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member agenteye Posted July 29, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2013 Where is the bleeding coming from exactly?! 4 days? I was told by my physician that if bleeding occured to contact the clinic. I would possibly consider doing that, just to see what your physician recommends. Probably nothing to worry about, but better safe than sorry!! 4737 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 11/16/2012 Daily regimen: 1/4 Proscar (1.25 mg Finasteride), Rogaine Foam (twice daily), 1000 mcg Biotin, 1 combo Vitamin D/Calcium/Magnesium, 1500 mg Glocosamine, 750 mg MSM, 1200 mg Fish Oil, 2000 mg Vitamin C, Super B-Complex, 400 I.U Vitamin E.

Senior Member Pulpedfiction1 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yes, it's from the donor. When I say "bleeding" its not like its oozing or anything...just isolated drops here and there that I notice upon waking up. To clarify, the blood is from the scar and not the recipient site?

Senior Member nathaniel Posted July 29, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'm sure you paid a lot of money for this procedure, and you've got a long road ahead. Do not hesitate to contact the doctor under any circumstances during this time; a good physician will most likely respond within a short time, even on the weekends and evenings - after all, they have a vested interest in both your health and a positive outcome, so don't keep them out of the loop of any concerns you have: it's unfair to them! E-mail and call him/her NOW if you have concerns!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Nick153452 Posted July 29, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2013 I don't think that's out of the ordinary.. Maybe you're putting too much strain on the scar? Don't hesitate to give your physician a call. But I don't think it's anything to worry about.
