Bleeding 19 months after hysterectomy??

Just noticed some light bleeding this morning, I've done nothing to cause this.  What could it be?

I had stage 1a Uterine cancer in 2022 (had total hysterectomy) and had MRI with contrast last month, Consultant reported no active disease.

Any advice would be gratefully received (tearing my hair out!!)

Thanks

  • Hello Silverdale and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your surgery in 2022 and appreciate how this light bleeding out of the blue is puzzling you.

    I'm afraid no one here can say what the matter is but there can be a number of reasons. Sometimes vaginal dryness can cause some light bleeding but if it continues do get assessed by your doctor.

    Whilst it is reassuring your most recent scan was all fine if you notice further bleeding or anything else out of the ordinary do get it checked out.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,
