A member asked:

Had a tlh with both ovaries removed on 2/5. i have had daily vaginal bleeding since. isthis normal? very lightheaded and dizzy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: Light bleeding or spotting is normal this far out from total hysterectomy, however if it is heavy daily (like a period), then i would not consider this normal. Vaginal cuff dehiscence is a common but rather minor complication of tlh, and worth evaluating. Lightheadedness can be a result of anemia from losing too much blood, but can also be a side effect of any pain meds you may be still taking.
