I had partial hysterectomy 4/18/09 they removed my uterus and 99% of my cervix, I was sent back to work after 2 weeks, had vaginal bleeding was pulled back from work for 2 more weeks. its been over 3 months and I still have bleeding, started as 3 days every 2 weeks, now the past 2 weeks I have only had 3 days that I have not. Any idea how someone with no uterus or cervix can still have vaginal bleeding??

The small amount left of your cervix could be causing this...Have you checked with your OB-GYN?...I have heard of Endometriosis being a culprit when it is not all taken out...Also they may need to cauterize you...I know they had to do this with me....Stay on top of this...See your doctor...It should be taken care of....

Good luck,
Caroline
