I presume you had: a vaginal hysterectomy; the incision is inside your vagina and is close to the rectum. The loose stool usually associated with diarrhea can much more easily travel to the site of the incision and potentially cause an infection. While not terribly unusual, it is not normal. Please contact your surgeon; I believe she/he will want you to come in for an exam if there is "raw"ness and bleeding.
