Blood / Bleeding after Hysterectomy Posted: 04-14-07 08:05am
I had a total hysterectomy (cervix and
uterus) vaginally jan 30 - on march 20 I
started to bleed heavily and ended up back
in surgery - i had a post op infection and
a tear which was sutured - today april14th
i noticed i had some bleeding . I have no
signs of infection ( odor or chill malasie
fever) but have been extremly tired. Im
def going to have my doctor to an exam but
to you think returning back to work in a
week in my best interest and should I be
concerned about this new onset of
bleeding? Also is it normal to have
contraction like pain with bowel movements
post hystectomy - it's like going through
labor.
Neither bleeding nor infection nor cramps
are normal after a hysterectomy. I can’t
speculate on the possible causes for these
symptoms after the surgery without first
knowing the reason for the hysterectomy.
You must consult your gynecologist
immediately.
