What's wrong with bleeding again after hysteroscopy surgery?

Patient's question:

[Condition Description: My mother is 71 years old, with diabetes for 20 years. Last June, she accidentally contracted genital warts, and it wasn't until March of this year that she was cured. The hospital examination showed that one indicator related to genital warts has returned to normal, but she has been experiencing continuous bleeding and discharge from her uterus. She has received injections, taken medications, and used topical treatments, which have shown slight improvement but often recur. On April 30, she underwent a hysteroscopy, but after 7 days, she still had uncontrolled bleeding. Shely took various medications without improvement and had another hysteroscopy on August 6. After 7 days, she again experienced uncontrolled bleeding. Currently, she is unsure how to proceed. She visited the expert outpatient clinic of a medical college and was advised to undergo TCT and HPV tests. However, these tests will not be available for another month. Currently, she is still bleeding and does not know what to do. Can she take Yunnan Baiyao oral hemostatic medication? All the above examinations and tests have been conducted in regular large hospitals.]

Doctor's answer:

Hello, on the sixth day after hysteroscopy, there is some slight bleeding, which is normal. You need to check if the bleeding amount will continue to increase. If it is only a small amount, there is no need to worry.
Slight bleeding after hysteroscopy is a normal phenomenon. Since it has been six days since your surgery, hysteroscopy is usually performed 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends. You may currently be in your ovulation period, and ovulation bleeding is also normal. Therefore, if the bleeding is not significant at the moment, you can wait and see. It is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia and avoid sexual activity.
