Spotting Blood 5 Months After Hysterectomy Posted: 03-18-06 01:51am
I had a partial hysterectomy 5 months ago.
Every since it seems like one day out of
the month, I will find blood on the tissue
after wiping. It is never enough that I
have to wear pantyliners, but I will
notice is for 1 or 2 days. (bright red)
after making love with my husband the
other night, we both notice blood on him
and after cleaning myself up, I didn't see
anymore. I have not be hurting, or any
other problems, but I am starting to get
worried. I was wondering what could be
going on... Any information would be
appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds to me like you still have your
cervix?
If so then it is quite possible that there
is a tiny amount of endometrial tissue in
the cervix that is still affect by
hormones hence the small amount of
bleeding.
The bit about bleeding after making love
could be a couple of things, either you
guys need to take it a bit easier *wink
wink* or there could be a small spot of
tissue on the cervix (or the cuff) that
hasn't fully 100% healed.
Both of these can be fixed by a simple
silver nitrate treatment that your gynae
can do as a quick outpatient appointment.
Most people find it painless, some will
feel a small tickle-pinch
however, as I am not a doctor and have
never met you I can be sure my suggestion
is correct so I would advise that you make
an appointment to see your gynae for a
check up and tell him/her about the
bleeding.
