A member asked:

Should i be worried about a bloody vaginal discharge? i had a complete hysterectomy 21 years ago. this is something new.

You : You should definitely see your doctor for an exam. Any vaginal bleeding after a full recovery from a hysterectomy is not normal and should be evaluated sooner rather than later.

Yes: It could be as simple as a yeast infection or as serious as a cancer. You should see your doctor for an exam to determine why you are bleeding.
