A member asked:

I had a hysterectomy 15 yrs ago. i have been having vaginal bleeding on and off for 2 months. what's going on? lower abdominal pain, fevers complete hysterectomy

Having : Having had a hysterectomy does not definitively protect against gynecologic problems. For example, it is possible to have cervical cancer even if the uterus has been removed. Infectious problems can also lead to vaginal bleeding, as can irritation that develops with atrophy following menopause. The only way to sort out what's going on is to visit your gynecologist and have a thorough evaluation.

Varies: Yeast, bacterial infection, atrophy, trauma, and cancer are all possibilities. See your doctor for an exam.
