Bleeding 12 years after hysterectomy

[Chel4]

What could be the possible reasons for vaginal bleeding when a woman has not had her uterus or cervix for nearly 12 years? In 1994, I had a total hysterectomy (removal of my uterus, cervix, & one ovary). My cervix was removed because of pre-cancerous tissues. I began experiencing a vaginal discharge in Nov. 2005 after recommencing sexual relations after abstaining for six years.  Also in Nov. 2005 I noticed old blood coming from the vaginal area (it was brown) and a slight smell.  I thought maybe the sex was too hard. I was checked in December 2005 by my general practitioner for STDs and HIV.  All the rest results came back normal and/or negative.  The smell and discharge decreased; almost faded totally away.  But now in January 2006, although I have not had intercourse since November 2005, I began smelling the smell again and the discharge has increased.  It has changed in its look and consistency.  It has been white, milky, but lately it has been somewhat watery.  Recently I had a rush discharge where I had to run to the restroom. There was blood on my dress.  The blood is pink.  I went to my primary care physician who said I had a bladder infection because she thought I was bleeding from my urine are and she prescribed an antibiotic.  She did not do a pap smear.  I went to a different doctor later that day and she did a pap smear.  She confirmed that I was actually bleeding from the vaginal area, more specifcally I believe she said from my vaginal cuff.  I am nervously and anxiously awaiting the results.  What are possibilities?

Wow, I read all the posts, then finally read yours near the bottom-I'm pretty much the same as the other ladies-7 years after my partial Hyst and now I have a bright red streak from time to time when I wipe. However, prior to the blood I do remember having a "pull-back" somewhat painful feeling right at the end of urination, and a general funny feeling in "that" area. No sex for quite awhile because I'm scared not knowing what is happening with my body. If I have a UTI it wouldn't bleed from "there" would it? I have no insurance so have to try to get seen at the free clinic next week on Weds. I pray it's nothing serious.  Thanks to all who reposted results for those of us who are totally freaking out!!!

Been spotting blood since 03/07/11. Have blood mixed with urine, last month had severe cramping, alot of pressure ect. It is now 11/09/12 just got back from my cytology apt. they said no blood in urine - I said "how strange there was this morning," he said well, go see a OBGYN. They gave me a diagnosis of Vagininal autrophy, even though I had no symptoms only blood in urine. Doctors are stupid so I don't think any of us will ever know for sure why we have blood in our urine (with a select few), because frankly I don't think they give a bit and I have decided that I'll be stuck wearing a pad for the rest of my life. I am now 52 had a total hysterectomy in 1994. There ya go, that's what took my urologist nearly two yrs to figure out!
