Q: No Uterus.......why Do I Bleed

Had a partial hysterectomy 7 years ago. Left the ovaries and cervix. About 3 years ago had a bit of spotting and freaked. I have no uterus, so where is it coming from. Called emergency and they told me to go to the doctor, which I did and she checked me out and said that the cerivx bleeds sometimes. This past year I am getting bleeding once a month and it seems to be getting heavier. No clotting but don't know where it is coming from. Did searches on internet and have yet to find anything on this or anyone that has had this.
I am 44 had 3 kids by c-sections. Youngest is 12 and oldest is 18.
Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated cause I am confused about this.

I would go to another doctor, and have tests run, x-rays or mri's and the such. You definatly shouldn't be bleeding heavily, i'd think! Maybe that is normal; but asking a doctor and getting a thourough exam is what I would do.

Weird...

I had a partial hysterectomy done in 2001, I have experienced very light bleeding once every 5 to 6 months for the past 3 years. This month the bleeding was more dark and frequent. I was told by a gyn this happens and not to worry... Im 35 years old and have 3 beautiful children...

partial hysterectomy at age 39

I've had the same thing happen since the month after my hysterectomy about a year ago. My doctor told me I would NOT have a period after the surgery but I have had one ever since. They are very mild and and so far I can live with it but I am let down to a point. I've had to deal with heavy bleeding for so long before the surgery I was looking forward to being done with it. If I had it to do over again the cervix would be removed as well as the uterus.

partial or full hysterectomy removes the uterus so there should be no bleeding what-so-ever... partial means that the ovary / ovaries / tubes are left as full takes it all.

If you bleed afterwards see your doctor and get a second opinion if need be.

test results

All of my tests were normal and the Dr. said it is normal for women who have their cervix and ovaries to have a period but it should be slight. It comes from a small number of cells attached to the cervix that bleed just like the lining of the uterus. Still it almost makes me mad due to the fact I had been told that I would not have a period. I think if I had known this I would have had the cervix removed also. If anyone is reading this thinking about this surgery please research everything on your own, do not rely on one Doctors opinion. I feel I had not been informed properly and now its too late.

You should not be bleeding...This could be Endometriosis as it will grow again around the female organs if it was not all removed with the surgery...Anything attached to the cervix should have been closed off and cauterized if it was a problem...You might want to tell your OB-GYN about it...

I am 34 had a hysterectomy 3 months ago almost 4 now and I have been fine until yesterday I had a big brownish reddish spot on my panties. I am totally freaked. I am not wiping anything and not seeing anything in the toilet just had a big spot. Did anyone on here get an answer that makes sense???? I am nervous to go to the doc because they always think its just me and my nerves.

If it was red blood that is fresh you would be concerned...This is probably just old blood and I wouldn't worry....Take care...

I had a partial hysterectomy 5 years ago and have had a small bit of brownish 'blood' in my underwear everyday for a few months now. My Dr was very thorough -- gave me a pap and an internal and external ultrasound...all tests have come back normal/negative--which makes me happy, but it is discomforting not knowing WHAT it is...
