Tumor Removed By Hysterectomy. Delayed Periods,big Clots,not Pregnant. Cause Of Delay?
I had a partial hysterectomy in October 2011 and also had a 10 centimeter tumor romoved (along with my left ovary and left fallopian tube ). As of today I have had my period for 1 month and 4 days now straight. Big clots. I haven t had sex inover 6 months - so i know i am not pregnant. What is the cause of my period lasting over a month?

Hello
thanks for your query.
Following a hysterectomy, you should not be having ANY period - let alone bleeding straight for over a month.
It warrants examination by a gynecologist.
You could be having a lesion on the cervical stump left behind.
Also, certain hormonal imbalances, as well as being on blood thinners, could result in this.
Take care, and do not ignore this for long.
