Me Too...

I am so glad to find your question posted.
I too am 6 months after a partial
hysterectomy, uterus and cervix removal
only. After sex last night I started
spotting and had light bleeding all day.
It freaked me out... It was good to know
someone else has had this problem. Have
others?
I have had no problems since my surgery,
in fact I feel better then I have in a
long time. So I hope this isn't a
problem.
Good luck!! :)

You should check with your doctors if you
experience any abnormal bleeding.
However if the cervix has been removed you
may find you partner is "knocking" against
the vaginal cuff.
Or you may need a silver nitrate treatment
to cauterize these cells.
Or it could be something else completely.

I had my hysterectomy about 8 months ago.
I had a partial and vaginally was tried,
but I had adhersions against my
intestines. I had alot of discomfort
during bowel movements and ended up
resorting to fiber laxatines for
assistance. That help, but I still had
pain.
I am also concerned because I started
spotting and I haven't had sex for a few
days. Not sure what to do!
:?

I had my hysterectomy the middle of april
and I am still having issues with pain
before and after a bm. It is terribly
uncomfortable and I kept telling the
doctor and he said it was the incision
being irritable from the surgery. This
continues to be a problem for me 7 weeks
post op and i'm still seeing him weekly to
follow up for pain and bleeding.

I had a complete hysterectomy 5 months
ago. I don't have regular sex, because I
don't enjoy it anymore due to dryness, but
don't have problem having orgasm. I had
spotting a couple of times without any
reason, was freaked out. But I see that
there are too many women have this
problem. And i'm not that scared anymore.
Good luck to all of us. :p

Bleeding And Spotting

I am almost 4 months post-op. I had only
my uterus removed. I have had spotting
and cramps for the last 2 months about 25
days apart. I can't figure out what it is
and the Dr. Won't tell me anything. I'd
just like to know if this is a normal
thing or did he screw up? I had no
problems right after surgery and felt
fantastic. The last 2 months have been
hell! The only good thing so far is that
I don't have migraines anymore.

hi, I was just wondering if you still have
the bowel pain. I am 27 and had a
hysterectomy, everything out but one ovary
and since the then I have had horrible
pain exactly like yours. I described it
to my husband as contractions also. Have
you gone back to find out what it is from?
If so could you let me know what it
is??
Thanks,

Bleeding Post Op

I found out what my problem is. I am
having "mini" periods. Apparently a few
emdometrial cells were left where the
doctor cuts at the edge of the cervix when
he removes the uterus. So every month I
have lght spotting just like a period only
smaller. I was very upset because I was
so looking forward to not having any
bleeding ever again. I was told this is
rare but it does happen and it just had to
happen to me. They told me it may
eventually stop on its own or it will stop
when I go through menopause which could be
another 10 years away for me. Oh well,
at least I know what it is and I no longer
have migraine and severe cramps. I guess
I can deal with it.

how is the bowel pain that you were
experiencing? I was wondering if it went
away or if you found out what it was. I
had the exact same pain. It would be
like having contractions, and they are
almost unbearable. I am sorry you still
have a little period, but thank goodness
you got rid of the severe cramps. I am
only 6 weeks and 3days post surgery, and
was able to have sex for the first time.
I had a lot of bleeding, do you know if
this is normal?? Sorry for all the
questions, I am just worried.
Thanks,
ginger

Hello. I'm 26 and had a
partial hysterectomy 2 weeks ago, and I
too am having the most painful bowel pain.
I also told my husband that it felt like
contractions. Maybe since we're all
having it it's normal, but man I wish I
knew why and how long it lasts. If you
ladies find out please let me know.
Thanks, paula

2.5 Years Post Op & Still Bleeding :(
Posted: 12-29-07 23:23pm
|
|
|
|
|
It has now been 2.5 years since I had a
partial hysterectomy (uterus only
removed). I thought the bleeding would
stop. I suffered from excrutiating
migraines every month and heavy periods.
Well, the migraines are not as bad (may
have a horrible 10 day episode every other
month). One doctor was disturbed to hear
that I was still bleeding after having my
uterus removed. She was VERY adiment that
I should NOT be bleeding. So therefore,
she encouraged me to go back to the doctor
who performed the surgery to have him
confirm and clarify that he removed the
uterus and not just the fibroids. I went
back to the performing doctor and he
indeed said the uterus was gone (I felt
kind of silly because I wanted to tell him
to let me see the ultrasound screen). He
said that since my cervix was still in
tact, I would still have some type of
bleeding. I don't know what the cervix has
to with it because it's the lineing of the
uterus that sheds. Like the rest of you, I
was hoping that the bleeding would cease
also. It definitley is not as bad as it
was, nor as long. I guess I am not alone.

1/2 Years Since Hystectomy And Stll Bleeding

I'm 37 years old and I can't tell you how
happy I am to have found this site. I've
been going crazy with worry, yet unable to
go to the doctor out of fear that he'll
tell me I'm dying. Yes, I know, head in
the sand. It's been 1 1/2 years since my
hystectomy (uterus and cervix) and I still
have terrible PMS, cramping and light
spotting all the time, and sex is out of
the question because I'm as dry as the
Sahara. What's causing the bleeding?!?! I
finally made a doctor's appointment for
next Tuesday (Jan.  . I'll let you know
what he tells me.

4 Mths Ago Hysterectomy, Pain And Bleeding
Posted: 01-03-08 22:43pm

I had my cervix and uterus removed. The
first time I had sex it was painful with
bleeding and rectal gas pain that lasted
the whole day. Everytime I would bear down
to expel gas I would bleed vaginally. I
phoned my gyno and he said that it sounds
like I should call my GI MD. I did but
can't be seen until end of Jan. Had sex
again and same thing. I made my gyno see
me and he said I was torn and gave me an
antibiotic cream and to refrain from sex
for 4wks and to see him again. I'm so
worried I may have vaginal/rectal prolapse
or something..Please keep posting your
findings and I will update end of Jan..So
glad to find this cite..Txs

Hi, I'm only 19 years od and am about a
month and a half post op from a
hysterectomy. It was part of my treatment
for cervical cancer. I've had pretty bad
pain the entire time post op. But today I
was shovelling snow and it just started
going crazy. I'm used to the pain(having
cervical cancer for over a year and have
had many abdominal surgerys) but this is
different. I also started bleeding. I
haven't bled since a week or so after the
surgery. It's quite a bit of blood, but
not anything out of hand. It's enough to
need a pad. I don't technically know what
a contraction feels like, but that sounds
right. It feels like it just contracts
into horribe pain that has caused me to
drop onto the ground in tears...
I was a lot more worried than I am now,
seeing as though quite a few of you have
the same basic deal going on.
Is there anything any of you have done for
this pain to help?
I hope I don't need to go to the hospital
but nothin has felt this horrific...

4mths Hysterectomy..f/u from MD
Posted: 01-24-08 21:25pm
|
|
|
|
|
Went to see my gyno (I was so worried) and
the exam was not as painful as it was 4
wks ago. He said I was healing but still
need to refrain from intercourse and to
use antibiotic cream 2 more times. No sex
for another month!! I asked him why so
painful and he explained that he sewed up
my vaginal tube and he is hitting the
sutures. Said to be patient but that I am
still healing. He denied that I had
rectocele or cystocele but I still have
constipation. I see my Gastro MD next wk
so hopefully that will be resolved. My
gyno suggested a vaginal dialator which I
just purchased to help vagina stay loose.
He said that the vaginal wall will
continue to shrink if not used so I
thought I would help this along, although
penetration was not the issue. It was the
deep thrust that killed me. But just need
to be patient I guess and hopefully things
will be back to normal or better hopefully
since no more fibroids. Good luck to you
all...

bleeding after hysterectomy
Posted: 01-31-08 13:25pm
|
|

Hello, I have been reading all the the
entries here and have to say I am relieved
that this seems to happen more than you
would think. I had a full hysterectomy
over 7 months ago including both ovaries,
uterous and Cervix. There are times when
I bleed after sex and sometimes I don't.
I also will start bleeding out of nowhere.
Very scary. I have gone to my Dr. 3
times for the bleeding. They do very
thourough checkups even poke around in
there with one of those long Qtips and
have even done a follow-up cat scan to
make sure everything was gone. They see
nothing. There is no explanation as to
why I am bleeding. One thing my Dr. did
tell me about the bleeding AFTER SEX is
that after a hysterectomy, we tend to be a
little dryer in there and what happens is
that the friction from the thrusts
irritates the lining of the vagina and can
cause a tiny tear in the top layer. The
scary thing for me is what happens to make
me bleed when I haven't had sex. I have
nothing there, I have no cervix for
anything to come thru. But yet, I still
bleed. It has happened 4 times since my
surgery where I bleed even when I haven't
had sex. It just happened again
yesterday and I'm still bleeding enough to
need a pad. Has anyone heard of this?
I'm going to make another appointment with
my dr. but I'm sure they are going to tell
me the same thing. As for pain, I have a
little pain if he hits the end of the
vagina too hard, but other than that I'm
fine. I do have a lot of pain and
cramping from the incision because I have
a lot of scare tissue from 2 C-sections
and they cut me in the same spot for the
hysterectomy. Scare tissue can be very
painful and it will never go away.

why would you bleed?

I'm sorry that you can't seem to find any
ans to your bleeding? Could you be
straining somehow? Lifting something
heavy, straining to have BM? I guess
tissues must be very sensitive and can
tear easily. Post once you find out and I
hope you find some peace of mind, good
luck.
