Dr appt toorrow due to spotting blood
 |
Jan 04, 2010 - 2:14 pm
It's been 3 months since my surgery and last night I had some spotting with blood. First thing this morning I called my gyn/onc for an appoitment. I go tomorrow morning at 10:45. My question is can this be caused by anything else? I do get UTI's but I don't think that I have one. What happened is my and my husband had sex last night and I saw a small spot on the sheet. Then I saw some blood on my underwear and when I went to the bathroom it was present as I wiped myself. So far I've downplayed if for my husband and mother but obviously very frightened. I did not have chemo since my Grade was downgraded from 3 to a 2. I'm Stage 1C. Susie (Lilly the Clown) |

Susie, I can certainly understand why you are concerned and am so glad that you such a quick appointment. I do know that about 8 weeks after a complete hyster there can be some spotting as a result of sutures that are dissolving. I also read that there can be some granulomatus tissue along the vaginal cuff and that can result in some bleeding. The best think is certainly a "look see" and probably a pap smear.
I await your update and am sending good thoughts and hugs your way!

and always after sex. Last time yesterday. Twice it was green discharge. If I would you I will use syringe, fill it with your own urine and flush your vagina. Works like magic on everything. My Internet connection suck right now (I am at work), so google urine therapy.

It is best to have any spotting checked out. The doctor can do an exam and hopefully reduce your anxiety and worry. Hope it does turn out to be granulation like Karen suggested. In peace and caring.

If you had brachy therapy, sometimes the incision at the top of the vaginal cuff can get compromised a bit and sex can cause bleeding. And the lack of estrogen after a hysterectomy can cause the wall of the vagina to thin and tear more easily. It's good to be checked, but don't worry too much. I'm sure you'll be advised to use lots of lubricant in the future. Ask about a dilator (usually only prescribed after brachy radiation, but sometimes for other things) as I feel daily use of my dilator is why I am back 100% sexually.
