Vaginal Bleeding Continuing 11 months after Partial Hysterec
Posted: 03-30-06 13:11pm

I had a partial hysterectomy 11 months ago and have continued to suffer from vaginal bleeding which varies from a brownish discharge to a bright red mini flood enough to soak through a pad.

My consultant has tried to use progestrone to stop the bleeding but only with minor sucess and a MRI has revealed the cuff is too thin to be lasered.

I am now facing further surgery to remove the cervix. I would like to know where I can find further info on the pros and cons of this surgery so that I can make an informed decision on the surgery. I cannot seem to find any information on the net so would be grateful for any info you can provide. Many Thanks

Given your age and risk factors, you might consider a total hysterectomy with an adnexectomy. At 49 there is an increased risk that a malignant disease could be causing vaginal bleeding.
