4 week post op TAH vaginal cuff tear

Hi! I am 4 weeks TAH laparoscopic surgery. I started to hemorrhage sunday night and was rushed to the ER requiring emergency surgery for cauterization. The blood was pouring out of me and I bleed right through the packing prior to my surgery. The doctor said the bleeding was coming from the vaginal cuff possible from a stitch that scabbed then came off or just a weak section that didn't heal properly. Did anyone ever go through this? My doctor said that it is not a common thing after hysterectomy. My hemoglobin dropped from 14 to 10 but didn't need a transfusion. I am on bedrest now but scared at the same time that it will happen again. Your thoughts?

Only time I've heard of anything like that is when ladies have sex too soon. I hate you have gone thru that and hope it's your only complication! Rest and heal!

There are ladies who have experienced this. Some had sex and others had it happen just as you described. I hope they will pop in and share their story.

Listen to your doctor, rest and take good care of yourself. I am sending you healing :hugs5: in the hope you feel better soon.

I had the same problem a week ago, at 2 weeks post-op. I just got out of the shower and started free flowing, then came the clots. It is the second experience I've had because I hemorrhaged after my LEEP as well. I'm sorry, I know how scary it can be. My doctor said while he was glad I felt so well, I was doing too much too soon. (Long story short: Pinterest, used tire, heavy lifting. Bad stuff.) I managed to not need to go to the OR this time, I got some lovely liquid sutures swabbed on my cuff.
So you are not alone, bedrest sucks!
I can't do much else now anyway, though. I'm worse off than I was with pain and fatigue. Hope you get healed well and swiftly.
