period after partial hysterectomy
I am 32 years old and had a partial hysterectomy 6 1/2 weeks ago. This was after having problems with my period over the years, being married for 11 years and deciding we didn't want any more children, and the number one issue...a growth on my ovary that continued growing over 3 months. After pain for 6 months off and on and a trip to the emergency room, with pain so severe it made me double over, it was found on a CAT scan that I had a good size cyst that they thought burst. When I went to my OBGYN and had a vaginal sonogram they found not a cyst that had burst but one that doubled in size from the 2 weeks prior trip to the emergency room. My doctors suggestion was a laproscoptic surgery to remove the cyst and I asked about a hysterectomy and he agreed to do as I wished. I had my utereus removed along with the cystic ovary and the fallapian tube on that side. Upon my wish the doctor left the other ovary and tube and cervix. I was informed by him later that because the cyst ended up being an endometrioma caused by endometriosis starting that I might later have the same trouble on the other ovary. When my surgery was done it was 2 weeks til my next period. I bleed very little and had just a little bit of pain afterward. However I did have somewhat of a period. When I went back for my 4 wk checkup the doctor asked me a lot of questions, one was if I had a period and I told him yes. He then informed me that some women do have periods after a hysterectomy. AFTER HAVING A 2ND PERIOD SINCE SURGERY I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS NORMAL OR NOT????? Everyone says it isn't.

Thanks for sharing your stories. I had a partial hysterectomy in 2007 and in 2012 I started the light spotting. I went to the ER in a panic they found nothing other than a UTI. So now maybe twice a year I have light spotting noticeable when I wipe. It bothered me I wondered if I was the only one was something seriously wrong with me, now I know I am not alone that there are others experiencing the same thing. Once again I say thanks for sharing your site they have eased my mind a lot.
I had these same problems growing up. My daughter ended up in the hospital with the same issue at 13. She had lost so much blood that she had to have a transfusion. We have since then found out that we have a bleeding disorder called Von Willebrands. Most people who have it or never diagnosed with it. Women get treated for female problems when the issue is a bleeding issue.
dont wait my surgery went from one hr n a half to six hrs due to the fibroids were twisted around my left ovary which ending up going with the uterus. had blood transfusion too cuz fibroid tent to suck the blood out of you. you;ll feel much better . trust God will see you thru it all. think positive. dont wait it only gets worse trust me.
