Question 9

bleeding 20 years after partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: If you had a partial hysterectomy (uterus only removed and ovaries/tubes left in) 20 years ago and are now having vaginal bleeding, you need to have it investigated as this would not be expected to occur at this stage of life.  See your usual doctor to discuss.  If he/she is unable to assess, then request referral to an ob/gyn physician.

Question 10

i have achy pain in my legs and a spotty showing 12 years after a partial hysterectomy.

Accepted Answer

Post-hyst spotting: These symptoms could have one or more causes, and a doctor needs to see you to gather more information. In a partial hysterectomy,  the uterus is removed but the cervix is left intact.  No further bleeding is expected, even if the ovaries are left in.  The doctor would check the cervix for bleeding at the surgical site, and would make sure the leg pain is not from edema from a hormone change.
