A member asked:

A month after my hysterectomy i still have a heavy discharge with some fresh blood. is this normal. i do keep still and look after myself.

No: This could be a sign that the incision on top of the vagina is not healing well or may even be infected. See your doctor for an exam.

Not normal: See your doctor to rule out break-down of the vaginal cuff (extremely rare) or bleeding from vagina cuff edges (common).
