A member asked:

Why would an abscess form one year after hysterectomy?

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unsure: By a few weeks after a hysterectomy, the recovery is generally complete. An abscess that forms a year after a hysterectomy is probably not related to the hysterectomy.
