Hysterectomy and menstruation Posted: 03-03-08 07:31am
i had a partial hysterectomy 2 years ago.
just my uterus was removed. everything was
perfect till last month when i started to
get some cramping, lower back pain and
some light spotting. it is a watery, pink.
it lasted a few days and then went away.
saw the doctor, she couldnt find anything,
so i just dismissed it. now, one month
later, its back. i also have been having
yeast infection symptoms. itching and the
cheese like discharge. around the time
this all started, 2 months ago, i began a
new relationship and he is uncircumsised.
i have never had experience with this
before and am not ruling out anything. i
have had full std testing, hiv testing,
urinalisis and an internal. when i had the
hysterectomy the doctor stated i would not
ever bleed again. that doctor is no longer
around so i went to a new one and she said
because i still had the rest of my parts i
may still bleed. i got 2 different stories
and am confused. is spotting normal? can
you shed any light on this? thank you,
jenn
Partial hysterectomy means that only the
body of the uterus was removed and cervix
remained. If part of the uterus’s
isthmus is kept menstrual cycle remains.
So, this monthly spotting could be a
menstruation. If spotting lasts longer
than usual menstruation it could be
something else.
You didn’t tell me why your uterus was
removed and what the pathological report
was after the surgery.
You can consult some gynecologist about
this.
