Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Vaginal Bleeding Despite Having An Complete Hysterectomy?
In January I had a complete robotic hysterectomy. Every thing has been going fine. I am 61 years of age and was still having regular periods. Today, 5 months later, I started have vaginal bleeding. Nothing to heavy, but it just started. should I be worried?
Vaginal atrophy may cause light bleeding in women in menopause and this is not worrisome. On the other hand, it is best to have a gynecological visit to make sure this is the cause and rule out other potential causes for the bleeding.
I hope I have answered your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General and Family Physician
