What causes bleeding after hysterectomy

Bleeding after hysterectomy may be caused by poor wound healing, bleeding from residual cervical tissue or bleeding from a diseased cervix. 1. Poor wound healing: After a hysterectomy, a woman may experience bleeding in the short term due to poor wound healing. This bleeding may stop as the tissue heals, but intermittent bleeding may also increase the risk of infection if the wound heals slowly, so aggressive treatment to stop the bleeding is necessary. 2. Bleeding from residual cervical tissue: after hysterectomy, if there is residual cervical tissue, there may be a part of endometrium in the residual cervical tissue, and these tissues under the influence of the ovaries undergo cyclic exfoliation, resulting in bleeding manifestations. 3. Diseased cervical tissue: If a woman undergoes a hysterectomy but does not have the diseased cervical tissue removed, this may also lead to bleeding after hysterectomy. There may be other reasons for bleeding after hysterectomy. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time and give targeted treatment or therapy under the doctor’s guidance.
