I went to the surgeon/ gynecologist that performed my hysterectomy. After a painful internal exam & urine check he said my urine was fine and he only saw a swollen gland inside of me which he wasn't going to treat. He said to come back immediately if I experience any bleeding. I am still waiting on the results of the pap smear done by my family physician a week ago. My lower back pain has eased and I had three days with no discharge but now I'm having a yellow discharge that started today. I am frustrated ,confused and worried. Any thoughts on what I should do next, if anything?
HI,
Bleeding after a sub-total hysterectomy is usually because of local causes in the cervix. Pap smear reports will help rule out the risk of stump cancer or other pathology of the cervix that was left behind. Ultrasound of the pelvis can detect any ovarian cysts. Consult a gynaecologist for an evaluation.
Hope this helps.
