Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask why there is still bleeding after the hysterectomy. It has been almost three weeks since the surgery. How can I prevent bleeding or reduce the amount?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, vaginal bleeding outside of the menstrual period may be related to endocrine disorders or inflammation, such as vaginal ulcers, vaginitis, cervical erosion, acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. It may also be related to trauma, such as vigorous sexual activity, vaginal tearing during childbirth, or injuries, all of which can cause vaginal bleeding. Conditions such as uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer may also lead to irregular vaginal bleeding.
