What Causes Vaginal Bleeding After Radical Hysterectomy?

default
Posted on Mon, 20 Jan 2014
Question: Hello, can you please advise? I had a radical hysterectomy (everything out, laparascopic surgery) over five weeks ago and yesterday I had some vaginal bleeding - bright red blood and a few small blood clots on the toilet paper. Before that the bleeding (very slight) seemed to have stopped. Can't contact my surgeon or gynaecologist until next week. May be related to over-exertion and aggravating internal stitches as it seems to have lessened today. Any advice? many thanks
