Is it normal to bleed after a hysterectomy?

  A small amount of vaginal bleeding after hysterectomy is normal, don’t worry too much.  If a small amount of bleeding after hysterectomy is considered to be vaginal stump bleeding, if there is no other discomfort and the amount of bleeding is not much, it can be treated without special treatment and will be cleaned slowly in a week or so, but pay attention to rest, don’t strain, eat lightly and don’t do heavy work or have sex for three months after surgery.  If there is more bleeding after hysterectomy and the bleeding lasts longer, it is not excluded that the increased bleeding is caused by poor healing of the stump infection, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examination to identify the cause and then targeted treatment.  In addition, if only the uterus is removed but the cervix is preserved, it is also necessary to rule out bleeding caused by cervical lesions and, if necessary, to do cervical cancer screening to see if there is cervical erosion or cervical polyps, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations.  In conclusion, a small amount of transient bleeding after hysterectomy is generally considered normal after surgery, after all, it takes some time for the uterine stump to recover, but if there is a period of time after surgery and the amount of bleeding is relatively large, we should also be alert to the loosening of the stump or post-operative infection, if the hysterectomy is preserved, we should also exclude bleeding caused by cervical lesions.
