Why Am I Experiencing Bleeding Only When I Urinate Two Weeks After My Laparoscopic Hysterectomy?

Posted on Mon, 7 Oct 2024

Question: Hi I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy 14 days ago, I was spotting only during the first two days. 3 days ago I started bleeding not spotting, only when I urinate. No pain, no burning feeling, and no blood in my panty liners, only when I urinate. Why is this happening?

Brief Answer:
Injury

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Usually, post hysterectomy, there is no vaginal bleeding. If there is trauma to the vaginal wall or any other internal organs during the procedure it can lead to bleeding and infection. I would recommend you to visit your gynecologist to rule out the same.

Only in a few women, there might be pain in lower abdomen for first few days after procedure. This is self-limiting and need no intervention. This happens due to healing wound inside and may not always be infection

Injuries to the bladder or urethra can be expected in hysterectomy which can present with bleeding while urination. I strongly recommend a visit to gynecologist at the earliest to rule out procedure trauma.

Hope I answered your query. Wish you good health.

Regards
