Q: Internal Bleeding After Hysterectomy
asked by: MellisaDressler on March 25th, 2007

My name is Mellisa Dressler and I’m 25 years old. I had a Laporscopic Guided Vaginal Hysterectomy on 3/14/07. They removed my cervix and Uterus. On 3/16/07 I was discharged from the hospital and was feeling great. On 3/18/07 I was realy dizzy, nauaeaus, and had horrible shoulder pain. My husband took me to ER where my blood pressure was dangerously low. They did a Cat Scan and found a quart of blood in my stomach. I had another surgery to drain over a litter of blood and to repatch a incision that was seeping. I also had to have two blood transfusions. I’m home now, but I still feel very sick. Has this happen to anyone else? I have been developing new symptoms, but at this point I have no idea how I should be feeling. Any help would be appreciated.

Mellissa...concerning the Bleeding After Hysterectomy
Hi there.
I had the same type of hysterectomy recently. I am also having trouble with bleeding. I went in for a two week check-up and all seemed well. Then I started bleeding. I've been in again and was told everything is fine, but now I seem to be bleeding even more. I don't want to go in over and over and be looked at as some hypochondriac or something but I am concerned. I am a teacher and school starts soon and I'm feeling really drained and I'm worried about the bleeding.
I hope everything gets better now for you. Thanks for sharing. Your post made me realize that I'm not crazy here...this really can happen.

I too just had a vaginal hysterectomy. I didn't even make it out of recovery when my pulse went sky high and my BP dropped so low. They went back in and I had internal bleeding. They fixed it and I got to come home 2 days later. I have a 8 inch bikini line cut that hurts like crazy, I also had to get 4 units of blood. How long am I going to feel like total crap??
