What Causes Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding After Hysterectomy?
Question: I am 52 and perimenopausal. I have had a hysterectomy and do not have a uterus, but I was bleeding a bit from my vagina today. I feel fine otherwise.
Brief Answer:
You will need to see a medical professional for pap smear
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Unfortunately, painless bleeding can be a sign of many things - including infections, cancers, malignancies, and skin dysplasia. Therefore, you are going to need to see a medical profession to have a pap smear and cultures with cytology done. At the same time, you should also have an ultrasound with labs done to rule out any masses or signs of malignancy.
Cervical cancer is the third most common gynecologic malignancy and it usually involves the cervix, vagina, and pelvic side walls. The high risk patients are among women aged 40-59 years old. It almost always arises from preexisting dysplastic lesions involving HPV infection. The most common symptom is vaginal bleeding without pain. Occasionally, people will also have back pain.
I hope this helps.
