While I am healing faster than I would have if I had gone the abdominal hysterectomy route, I looked at my vaginal area with a mirror yesterday, and was horrified. It is sore, and he had said after 1 week, I could take a bath. So, I took 1 yesterday. But, it appears that my entire vaginal and vulvar area is larger than normal, and hanging out. I am worried that it won't retract to it's nice, tight little appearance before the surgery. I have had 3 children, all natural vaginal births, all 34-37 years ago. If this area looked like this after childbirth, I do not remember it. When I went in for my 1-week checkup last Wednesday, the Doctor didn't even visually check my vagina or anything. He just talked to me, and answered questions. Am I getting ripped off by paying to see him for a 15 minute conversation? shouldn't he have checked to make sure everything was still ok?

Only my uterus was removed. Apparently the sutures used were supposed to disolve over time, but instead they tore through my vaginal wall causing major damage to my bladder requiring three corrective surgeries on my bladder. Now there are two pins holding a mesh that supports my bladder. That was almost 9 years ago, and I have had NO problems sense then, until this past week. I just started bleeding from my vagina. Not too heavy, but a light flow for 4 days. I need to know if I should see my GYN or my urologist about this problem? What do you think the blood could be coming from?

Seeing as I don't know exactly how your doctor did the operation it's difficult to say. If any part of the uterus is left behind then you will experience bleeding, maybe your uterus wasn't completely removed? Apart from that, if you have endometriosis (ie uterine tissue that exists outside the uterus) it behaves just like normal uterine tissue and leads to bleeding in each cycle. Your doctor is actually in the best position to answer that question. Have a good day. Hi Cathy. Seeing as I don’t know exactly how your doctor did the operation it’s difficult to say.

It last's for about 2-3 day's. Can you please tell me why that's happening? I had a hysterectomy in 2003, he took only my uterus, but I’m still having a light period once a month.
