Q: Bleeding 5 Months Post Hysterectomy
asked by: Weezie69 on December 4th, 2004

I'm 35 and had my uterus and one ovary removed in july. I have had a regular monthly cycle ever since. It's not heavy and I have to keep a log until the middle of december before my dr will decide what to do. Does anyone have any idea what happens next ?

Are you on birth control pills, have you thought about having a complete hysterectomy. I had a complete hysterectomy due to cancer, I could have had a partial hyst., but I didn't want to end up having them to find another cancer cell later and end up going back into surgery, I have had no regrets since that.
The very best to you!
Sincerely.
Sandy

I am 38 and had a subtotal hysterectomy earlier this summer. I also have cyclical bleeding, though it's very light.

I saw my doctor about it and she said that catuerization is an option. It's a procedure that they do right in the office. For some women it can be rather uncomfortable, part of my hesitation is that i've always had a very sensitive cervix and can't bear the thought of going through that to get rid of a little blood.

My bleeding is very light (just a little pink when I wipe and a single panty liner a day) and I don't think i'm going to opt for the treatment, but I thought you should know it's likely an option.

It's possible that you may need to heal a bit longer before the procedure could be done (my doctor said that she wouldn't want to tackle it until nine months or so when I come in for my next pap if I was interested).

Take care.
