Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for choosing H.C.M.Forum.
You are 53 was pre menopause before surgery. now 2 weeks after total hysterectomy, retaining both the ovaries, had fever , night sweats, for last three nights, bleeding lightly all the time.
Total hysterectomy means that hysterectomy with salpingo oophorectomy. (means removal of ovaries)
If it is not true, there might be some infection in the stitches.
You may need to use some antibiotics till the symptoms disappear, they may be due to gastris irritation due to the antibiotics and pain killers used.
I advise you to take bland foods, with less spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
