Bleeding 12 years after hysterectomy
What could be the possible reasons for vaginal bleeding when a woman has not had her uterus or cervix for nearly 12 years? In 1994, I had a total hysterectomy (removal of my uterus, cervix, & one ovary). My cervix was removed because of pre-cancerous tissues. I began experiencing a vaginal discharge in Nov. 2005 after recommencing sexual relations after abstaining for six years. Also in Nov. 2005 I noticed old blood coming from the vaginal area (it was brown) and a slight smell. I thought maybe the sex was too hard. I was checked in December 2005 by my general practitioner for STDs and HIV. All the rest results came back normal and/or negative. The smell and discharge decreased; almost faded totally away. But now in January 2006, although I have not had intercourse since November 2005, I began smelling the smell again and the discharge has increased. It has changed in its look and consistency. It has been white, milky, but lately it has been somewhat watery. Recently I had a rush discharge where I had to run to the restroom. There was blood on my dress. The blood is pink. I went to my primary care physician who said I had a bladder infection because she thought I was bleeding from my urine are and she prescribed an antibiotic. She did not do a pap smear. I went to a different doctor later that day and she did a pap smear. She confirmed that I was actually bleeding from the vaginal area, more specifcally I believe she said from my vaginal cuff. I am nervously and anxiously awaiting the results. What are possibilities?
I am 1.5 months post total hysterectomy with one ovary left inside me. I was bleeding recently with old blood discharge and drops of bright red when urinating. I have been cautirized twice now. Bleeding comes and go, but all I can hear from different Gynecologist is just "It's how the body heals". I am never satisfied with their answers. I am planning to see my family docotor this week and see if he can refer me to an internal medicine doctors for a third opinion. I don't want to experience bleeding in my life again. I was bleeding for two years until my Gyne decided to go through total hysterectomy. But now, I'm back to bleeding. I'm 46 years old now and I am experiencing hot flushes and depression. My breast are tender and I don't understand why I'm having light headedness and blackouts from time to time. My bloodworks okey and urinalysis are okey too. Before my total hysterectomy, my biopsy came out negative. My recent pap smear is also good. I just don't know what's happening to me. Did someone here saw an internal medicine doctors?

I am 76 and 42 yrs ago had a hysterectomy. My bleeding/Spotting started a year 2014 after I had a Colonoscopy.Been to Gyn & Urologists /All test scans were fine. & PAP I am wondering how many others had colonoscopys before they started bleeding........ Thought maybe there was a puncture somewhere as the Bowel is so close to the Vaginal area. I get some brown spotting with pink.Passing gas sometimes feels like it is exiting from my Vaginal area.The doctors are not agreeing on this idea.( Of course I do understand why/ I need answers? Looking for a connection!!!!
