\n

Hysterectomy is a type of surgery that removes the uterus. You may have bloody vaginal discharge for several days to several weeks after a hysterectomy. This happens as the stitches, also called sutures, dissolve and the tissues heal. Plan to wear sanitary pads during that time.<\/p>\n

Vaginal bleeding after hysterectomy should be light. You may notice some spotting or a pink discharge. Contact your care team if bleeding after hysterectomy is as heavy as a menstrual period or if it has a bad smell. Also, follow up with your care team if the bleeding lasts longer than six weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
