Question : I had a complete hysterectomy in the 80s and recently found out I have stage 2 or 3 kidney disease.
I just got a very small amount of blood, very light from my vagina. Any answers for me? I do not have a cell phone, it's my home phone.

Brief Answer:
Need evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to HCM forum.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

The possibilities are adverse cervical pathology (I guess you had a simple histerectomy; not complete), hematological disturbances from chronic kidney disease, or simple cervicitis (though it is uncommon in this age group).

A vaginal examination and blood routine test will guide us further.
Kindly see your primary care physician for initial evaluation. You may be asked for investigations like blood routine, urine routine, pap smear, USG abdomen etc.

Hope you will find this answer useful.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.
