A member asked:

Had laperscopic hysterectomy monday now sat and my vaginal area is red itchy and swollen. what could it be ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yeast infection or..: The most common possibility is a yeast infection; however, there are some other possibilities after a hysterectomy that are more rare such as a hematoma, vulvar edema etc. You should probably give your surgeon a call and advise him of your symptoms. Best wishes!
