I Had A Hysterectomy 3 Months Ago. After Intercourse Today,
Question: i had a hysterectomy 3 months ago. after intercourse today, ive had light bleeding. It actually started during intercourse. This is the first bleeding I have had. since 5 weeks post op. This is the first time I have bled during intercourse.
Brief Answer:
Bleeding from operative site in vagina
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) After hysterectomy, vaginal vault closure is done. Meaning , the opening created in vagina during surgery is repaired.
2) This repaired wound takes sometime to heal which is around 3 months.
3) Sometimes deep penetrative sex causes wound to open up partially or minor abrasions leading to bleeding.
4) Hence I suggest you avoid sexual intercourse another 3 months. As of now there is no need to panic.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
