bleeding after hysterectomy

I had a hysterectomy almost 4 years ago. Today I am having a slight blood discharge from my vagina. What can this be? I exercise a lot and run a lot. I'm terribly afraid.

If it has been almost 4 years since your hysterectomy, the cause of your bleeding is typically not due to the surgery. The best thing to do if you are afraid is to see your doctor for an exam. Most of the time the cause is benign and there are simple treatments. But having the exam makes it possible to know for sure. Being seen is the best way to find out and stop your fears.

I had my hysterectomy almost a year ago, since then my breasts are bigger, from 34B now I am in 34D, my concern is, could this be a hormonal imbalance? also my concern is that I feel stings in one side. I had my mammogram and everything is fine, the doctor told me not to worry, but I am worried because my bust is big, it feels like when I was breastfeeding, and the milk came and they felt like ready to explode, the same feeling. Help me if you know. Thank you!
