What Causes Pelvic Pain After A Complete Hysterectomy?
Question: I had a complete hysterectomy a year ago and last night I started having severe pelvic pain accompanied with gushing and leaking of bloody fluid from my vagina. It has gone on for 24hrs now and wont stop. Im going thru a pad every 3-4 hrs. The fluid has no odor and if not for the tint of blood looks like would be clear. This morning I woke up in a wet puddle of it and had to change my clothes and all my bedding.
Brief Answer:
You should consult your doctor immediately.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should consult your gynaecologist immediately to see the cause of bleeding.
In my opinion it may be due to-
1) some glandular tissue develop at the back of vagina after surgery- it can bleed.
2) After complete hysterectomy ( when ovaries removed- estrogen decreased)- thining of vagina( due to lack of estrogen)- can cause bleeding
3) If a small part of cervix left during surgery- it can bleed
What is the reason for complete hysterectomy is it benign or due to cancer?
Advise from my side-
1) Go to your doctor immediately
2) Take haemostatic tablet
3) Take ibuprofen
Hope I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
