Is Bleeding After Sex Normal Post Total Hysterectomy ?

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Sometimes its merely the subjective feelings of the patient and there is nothing inside. Sometimes it bleeds a very minute amount of clinically insignificant blood. Again this is nothing to bother. But, if you feel sheering pain, real discomfort, heavy bleeding wnough to make you worry and you know its severe, then you should call your treating surgeon and tell the incident. She may call you for a visit and look into the matter. But in both cases its not a thing to worry because this is curable and most regular complication of hysterectomy. Dyspareunea can be overcome with medications and counselling. Please consult your gynaecologist for best positions for you to avoid pain during intercourse.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
