Bleeding After Hysterectomy

Hi..I am 39 years old and had a total
hysterectomy approx. 4 weeks ago.
Within the past week, I have woken up on
two mornings with moderately heavy ,
bright red bleeding from my vagina. Each
time that this has occurred I also had
moderate pain in my lower right
side...Occasionally it even hurt to touch
that area. I contacted my physician the
first time that this occurred, and she had
me come into the office. Upon exam, she
said that everything looked okay and she
said that this can sometimes happen and
not to worry about it. Easier said than
done for me, as I just feel that something
is not "right".
I would appreciate any response as to
whether this is typical or not.
Thank you

Hi lonnie..Yes..I would appreciate hearing
what your wifes doctor has to say about
this.....The more people I talk to it
seems, keep telling me that its not normal
to bleed like this....I really want to
trust my doctor, whom i've been associated
with for nearly 15 years now., but, I also
realize that things happen and I dont want
to jeopardize my health by letting this
continue should it really be something she
is overlooking. Looking forward to
hearng from you soon.

Jakesmom,
the doc checked her over, and said that
she is doing extremly well at this stage.
He also said that the bleeding is normal.
Hope this helps.

So What Did Your Drs Say?

I also had a total hyst. 2 weeks before
christmas. I was doing great until the
day after x'mas. I started bleeding. I
saw my dr a few days later and he
suggested I take it easy. (i am pretty
physically active, although I was not and
have not done anything because I am afraid
i'll never heal.)
I kept bleeding as soon as I got up from
bed rest (2 or 3 days) the dr tried
stopping the bleeding with
silvernitrate(?Something) and even tried
a tampon. These worked for 2 or 3 days
each time.
A week ago he went back in and said he
found a small tear and stitched it up. I
started bleeding today! I get a burning
sensation with cramps just before I start
bleeding. My Dr. Is totally flumuxed.I
see him again tomorrow.
If it were not for this bleeding I would
be the happiest woman on earth. I feel
100%. I do not understand this
bleeding.
Does anybody have any good news?

Beverley,
I too had a hysterectomy on November 14th.
3 1/2 weeks after, I am bleeding now too.
I'm very concerned. I'm feeling better,
but don't understand the bleeding either.
I'm going to call my dr. later this
morning, but it's Sunday and I'm not sure
if I'll hear from her today. When I find
out...I'll post what the dr. said.

I had a total hysterectomy,Everything
gone,and a sling put in my bladder. I dont
understand this bleeding. If they taken
everything and stitched everything
shut,what is with the bleeding? I had my
surgery a month ago. I was bleeding a
little then but it seemed to lighten up.
now it seems heavier. Before my surgery i
had taken birth control which also made me
bleed,so I quit them. Now I'm taking
premarin for hormones ,I started them a
week after surgery, and it seems the
bleeding got worse. I wonder if I quit the
hormones if the bleeding will go away.

Hi everyone!
I had a DaVinci Hysterectomy on 12-13-07.
I have read about all the bleeding and
will tell you it all sounds normal. You
should rest as much as possible and by
your 6 week check up it will either be
gone or almost gone. There is a website
you can go to for more support called
HysterSisters.com. I have been going
there and getting a lot of my questions
answered. This site is also a good
resource. Good Luck ladies and don't give
up it really does get better it just takes
time and seems like it will never end but
it will.
Hugs and prayers for all of you.
Debbie

I had my hysterectomy Dec. 19, of 2007 and
the first 2 weeks of being home now
bleeding. After the 2weeks my bleeding
started alone with the spotting from time
to time also. I am very unhappy about it !
When I go wee it hurts me and my sister
is a nurse and I told her what it was
doing when I wee and she said that it is
called blatter contractions. Its very
uncomfortalbe and I had no health problems
before ever. My doctor told me also that I
am still healing in the inside but this
was not what I was pushing for was a slap
in the face. I had a cycle every 2 weeks
and Im still bleeding after all the pain
and suffering.

I had my hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and I
have had the occassional bleeding since
surgery. This was my 2nd surgery in a
space of 4 mths. Had a cyst removed from
left ovary in October 07 and this time a
huge cyst removed from the right ovary.
The pain prior to surgery was paralysing.
Over the last few days the bleeding has
increased and is now darker red. The pain
seems to be on the increase as well in the
last few days. I called my doc and she
said the bleeding is normal for about 4-6
weeks after surgery. But if it keeps
increasing then I need to go back for an
exam.I also had a burning or hurting when
I wee and was found to have a post op
urinary tract infection and now on
antibiotics for that. When does pain and
bleeding stop?

Hi,
My mother had undergone an total
hysterectomy on 26th May 2008. She came
back home on 2nd June 2008. After coming
to home she had some complications like a
bit of vomiting and constipation. But the
one that has been giving her more problem
is the bleeding she has been having for
the past 5-6 days now.
Is this bleeding normal? The bleeding is
not stopping even after the medication the
doctor gave. Her haemoglobin levels have
gone down from 10.2 to 9.2 today. She is
really scared now. The doctor says we may
have to admit her in the hospital again.
She is not that strong minded and has not
undergone any operation before this, so
she is very frightened now. When will this
bleeding stop?

I had full hyst with
salpingo/oopherectomy. I was the same
way. It bled for a while and I thought it
would never stop. It does eventually. It
does take 6 - 8 weeks to heal so you have
to take it easy during that time. No
lifting at all. Good luck to you.

Hi afish,
I am thankful for your reply. The doctor
has given her some antibiotics. She has
started taking them since yesterday night.
Her bleeding is usually not there in the
night and morning. But during the day and
evening the bleeding is considerable.
We were thinking that for precautionary
measure we should get her admitted in the
hospital again. Just for precautions so
that if some thing emergency occurs then
the doctors can help.
But today she is in home only and will be
given an injection in the afternoon. I
hope she doesn't need a surgery again to
repair some internal stitches. Thanks for
your reply again.

Hi,
I had a hysterctomy (just uterus and
cervix) by laparoscopy on July 10th, I am
still bleeding to the point where I have
to wear a pad everyday - I feel okay, not
tired, no fever, trying to take it easy
(although my husband thinks I do too
much). I am 44 and did this whole thing
because of very heavy frequent periods and
thought I would be done with all the pads
etc - even looked forward to doing a
little genuflect in the tampon aisle but
it seems like it is more than just
"spotting" - I know I should call the
doctor, but I don't want to sounds like a
whiner - like I said, the bleeding is the
only symptom I have right now - does
anybody know how long this could go on? I
did have, what she thinks was a hemotoma
on my right side under the incision but it
seems to be going away which is what she
said it would do - could this be the cause
of the bleeding?
thanks!
Sherri
