Hallow Dear,

I can understand your worries.

When the uterus and cervix are taken out, there is an incision in the vagina also. It is at the top of the vagina. This incision sometimes gets infected or undergoes granulation. In such cases, disturbance to the incision can cause bleeding. The infection can cause pain also.

Please report to your Gynaecologist and get vaginally examined from him/her to endorse my diagnosis and/or detect any other pathology present.

The granulation of the incision at vaginal vault can be easily and successfully treated by cauterization which is a minor procedure. After cauterization, you will get dirty brownish grey vaginal discharge. Nothing to worry about; it is the burnt out tissue getting washed of.

I hope you are satisfied with the explanation.
