No: Vaginal bleeding after a hysterectomy is absolutely not normal, and requires prompt evaluation.

You may have: Endometrial tissues outside of your uterus, perhaps in your abdominal or peritoneal linings or you may have adhesions or scar tissues from past surgeries. Go follow up with your gyn or seek a second opinion. Take care!
