What Causes Bleeding After A Vaginal Hysterectomy And Bladder Lift?
I am 14 days post op from a vaginal hysterectomy and bladder lift w/mesh. I have been bleeding in small amounts since but have found that yesterday and today my bleeding has increased. I have no other symptoms however. No pain just what I would consider general discomfort. I am really not doing anything but resting. I dont go to see my OBGYN for another 4 weeks. Should I be worried?

Hello,
Mild bleeding is to be expected for 4 to 6 weeks after hysterectomy. However, if the bleeding is heavy like during menstruation it is best to follow up with your ObGyn to rue out ant vaginal tear, hemorrhage, etc.
