Chances of developing hematoma again

When I had my hysterectomy I developed a pelvic hematoma and internal bleeding and required 6 units of blood. I was never so scare or experienced so much pain in my life. I find out wed.if my ovaries will be coming out too (most likely they will)as my cysts are not responding to treatment and gyn does not like how my ovaries are misbehaving. My question is what are my chances of getting through this with no complications. It is bad enuff worring about ovca without going off the deep end about this. Sorry to ramble on again in such a short amount of time.&name=Mishelle

Hello....why did the hematoma develope in the first place....was there a bleeder left untied or not cauterised.....exactly what happened?  Did they tap the pool or did they judt wait for it to be absorbed?
I know they  are very painful, but, I am certain whoever does your next surgery will be very cautious after what you experienced last time.  Nobody wants to have that happen again....besides not being good for you...it makes the surgeon look stupid.....egos you know.
Keep us posted; if I was you I would want to know why the bleeding happened in the first place.
Peace be with you and your family.

Thanks Dian I was really afraid almost to the point of no surgery but realistically cant take that chance. Gyn/onc drained hematoma but no idea why gyn/onc and not surgeon and no idea why it developed in the 1st place even after draining took months to resolve.
