Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Bleeding and spotting after hysterectomy is common till the surgical site heals.
However, if the discharge is foul smelling or irritating, then you should get yourself examined by your operating surgeon to confirm the cause.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
