What symptoms are there after a hysterectomy and salpingectomy?

Patient's question:

Carcinoma in situ underwent a hysterectomy and salpingectomy on March 3rd. On March 13th, the vagina began to have a small amount of light red bleeding, which has lasted for 13 days now. Occasionally, there is lower back pain. When I was discharged, there was a slight pain on the left side of the waist, but it improved after the third day of resting with my pants off. I don't know if this bleeding is normal?

Doctor's answer:

Glad to serve you. You are currently 34 years old and have undergone a hysterectomy due to cervical carcinoma in situ. The slight vaginal bleeding for 13 days may be caused by the absorption of vaginal catgut. After a total hysterectomy, you may experience lower abdominal discomfort, which will gradually improve. Currently, there is minimal vaginal bleeding. If it increases, you should visit a hospital for a gynecological examination and ultrasound. Rest well and avoid sexual activity. For patients with fallopian tube issues, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Lastly, we advise female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
