Can wait if mild bleeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The bleeding from vagina after hysterectomy can be due to a vaginal injury or due to dryness of vagina. Malignancy also needs to be ruled out. In case the bleeding is mild then she can wait till tomorrow. In case it is a heavy bleeding with clots then do attend an ER.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
