Bleeding after a hysterectomy

Hi. For nearly a year now I bleed when either going for a wee or poo. I thought initially it was coming from my bladder but had ct scan and camera in the bladder. Never thought would be coming from my vagina. I've triple checked when it happens and definitely seems to be coming from there. Has anybody else had this after a full hysterectomy. 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Unfortunately, we can't give you a specific medical opinion on this. Do speak with your GP again about this, and see what they suggest moving forward. 

    It can sometimes be due to vaginal atrophy, and this can last for a long time. This is a condition in which the tissues lining the inside of the vagina (birth canal) become thin, dry, and inflamed. This is caused by a decrease in the amount of oestrogen (a female hormone) made by the body.

    But ask your GP about it. If they think it warrants further investigation, they may suggest tests, or a referral to a gynaecologist. 

    I hope that this is useful,

    Kind regards,
