Third time having sex, 6 mos. post op & bleeding
I'm single and even though my surgery was on May 5, I have only had sex three times since then. Each time I've had bleeding. I don't have any lubrication problems, so it's not from dryness, and the men I've been with aren't particularly large, so I don't think that's the problem. Has anyone had this problem this far out? I'm at six months post op.

Third time having sex, 6 mos. post op & bleeding
Hi!
I experienced spotting after intercourse when I was around seven months post-op. I called the doctor's office, got an appointment to be seen and then was diagnosed with granulation tissue. There was a lot of it along the entire vaginal cuff and my doctor treated it with silver nitrate. He was doubtful that the silver nitrate would be enough to treat it all since there was so much and as it turns out, he was right. He ended up removing it at a later appointment with a minor, in-office surgical procedure called LEEP.
I also experienced vaginal dryness/atrophy which was not only uncomfortable for sex but also caused discomfort all the time. A prescription for vaginal estrogen took care of that problem. Vaginal tissues lacking in estrogen can be prone to tearing and bleeding.
There's good information about granulation tissue in this link: After Hysterectomy Vaginal Cuff Granulation – Silver Nitrate – Cauterization and information about vaginal dryness in this one: Vaginal Dryness.
I hope you can get in soon to see your doctor to find out the cause of your post-op bleeding. Let us know what the doctor says, okay?

I'm six months out, and I have had tearing with attempted penetration, and the pain is so intense we have to stop. I have a small perineal "shelf" that developed after the posterior repair incision healed (it didn't heal properly). I have to have the "shelf" of skin excised, technically a surgery. It doesn't stretch properly during intercourse and the only way to deal with it is to cut it out. Make sure your Dr. knows what is going on with you, and keep us posted. Good luck.
