Is it normal to have bleeding three months after a total hysterectomy?

Patient's question:

Six years ago, after discovering uterine fibroids, I experienced continuous bleeding. The doctor recommended surgical removal.

Doctor's answer:

If it is a total abdominal hysterectomy with the cervix preserved, and there is a small amount of endometrial tissue remaining in the cervix, cyclic bleeding may occur, similar to menstruation. If a total hysterectomy is performed, this symptom should not occur, and you should seek medical attention to have a doctor examine whether the vaginal stump has healed properly.
The presence of uterine fibroids not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
