hi. noted history of several surgeries for hernia and recent abdominal pain associated with heavy bleeding. is the pain associated with redness, swelling or warmth over the operative site or not? post-operative pain can occur even for those who have been operated on several years back. pain/discomfort must be tolerable in character, resolving spontaneously. if the pain is persistent/progressive, it is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon for physical examination and clinical evaluation. re your heavy bleeding, it is best if you consult with a gynecologist with regards to this matter. your abnormal menses may be due to your menopausal status, but other gynecologic pathologies for abnormal uterine bleeding (such as endometriosis, myoma, etc.) must also be ruled-out.. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, blood counts, etc.) and management (medicla and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. hope this helps. good day!! ~dr.kaye
