Is Spotting Normal After Applying Siver Nitrate On Pulled Stiches?

I had my cervix, uterus and falopian tubes removed, my doctor said I pull some stitches so she put silver nitrate where I pulled the stitched but I was still bleeding and now she has put me on 2 different antibiotics one for infection and the other for inflamation. I am still spotting. Is this normal?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having bacterial infection on stitches site giving rise ulcer.
Continue with antibiotic medicine till full course.
Important is to go for dressing done by your treating doctor so that there might be having proper cleaning the wound with removing of exudate stuff.
Ok and take care.
