Is On And Off Bleeding Post Hysterectomy Normal?
Hello, I had a laperscopic total hysterectomy Dec 10th and little bleeding 1-2 days after. I felt great 4-5 days after and probably walked around to much. 14 days later I started bleeding bright red and major pain. I am still bleeding off and on with pain but haven t done ANYTHING for 4 days. Should I be worried?

welcome,
Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It's normal to have bloody vaginal discharge for several days to several weeks after a hysterectomy, as the sutures dissolve and the tissue heals. So you'll likely need to wear sanitary pads during that time.
Generally, vaginal bleeding after hysterectomy should be light. You may notice occasional spotting or a pink discharge. If bleeding after hysterectomy is as heavy as a menstrual period or lasts longer than six weeks, consult your doctor for an evaluation
feedback.
