How long should you bleed after a hysterectomy?

Question

i had a vaginal hysterectomy and repair done three weeks ago and still losing when will it stop

Answer 1

Somethings not right then.  I had a hysterectomy done a couple months ago and I stopped bleeding then.  What information did they give u on the day of discharge. Maybe the doctor that preformed the procedure will have to go back and cauterize the place that is bleeding from. Go to doctor and see what he says!!!!!!

Answer 2

I had my hysterectomy and bleeding if any shouldn't last that long.  Really there shouldn't be a lot of bleeding, maybe spotting here and there.

I HIGHLY recommend you check out www.hystersisters.com. They helped me EXTREMELY with my questions and advice on hysterectomies. It's a support group and it's FREE.

I wish I'd found the site before I had mine. A lot of my questions and concerns would have been answered with just looking at the responses on this website. But I stumbled on the site a few days after my hysterectomy and learned of various things I should do before the surgery, things I'm entitled to at the hospital (which the hospital doesn't tell you), questions to ask the doctor, etc. It's an awesome site for women.

I hope it helps you, it has helped me and my family and friends.
