A member asked:

Is it normal to bleed after hysterectomy surgery?

Dr. Lori Semel answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Yes, but: vaginal bleeding after hysterectomy should be light. If bleeding after hysterectomy is as heavy as a menstrual period or lasts longer than six weeks, consult your doctor for an evaluation.
