Hello and welcome,

It is not uncommon to bleed after hysterectomy for a few days until the stitches heal. In most cases the bleeding stops by 15-20 days. There may be a slight discharge from the vaginal vault area for a few days and then it also stops. If it has been more than a month after surgery and you are still bleeding then it is better to see your doctor to look for the cause. A granuloma [ small tumor due to reaction to the suture] may sometimes form and ooze blood.

Please see your doctor and get evaluated for the same.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
