Spotting After Hysterectomy... Posted: 01-25-04 00:00am
Last may I had a hysterectomy during a
c-section. I was bleeding out and they
had to make a quick decision. I still
have my ovaries, but occasionally I spot,
just light pink. Is this normal?
Thank you for your input!!

Sometimes when women have a hyst but keep
their cervix, a few little bits of uterine
tissue end up staying with the cervix
(there's nothing like a clear dotted line
to cut on, alas). These little bits may
still cycle and provide mini-periods.
That's the most likely explanation., but
if the bleeding increases in amount or
when you next see your doctor, it's a good
thing to ask about just to be sure.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that cervix
is gone too. I wish they would have told
me a little more after doing the surgery.
They tried to avoid the surgery all
together, and I ended up bleeding out the
equivilant of 2 large bottles of soda. So
they had to go back in (after having sewed
me up from the c section 5 minutes
earlier) and did the hyst. Thank you for
your reply!!
