Question : where could blood come from vagina. I am over 75 and had a hysterectomy years ago
Brief Answer:
Vaginal bleeding needs vaginal exam
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns.
You are concerned that you are having vaginal bleeding despite having a hysterectomy. You have also had your colon checked for blood and your urine. This is concerning as bleeding from the vaginal vault may indicate cancer. I strongly urge you to be seen by a gynecologist who can do a proper vaginal examination to check for the source of your vaginal bleeding. I feel this is a serious problem and needs to be evaluated as soon as possible.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns or questions
