Re: help
Since your hysterectomy was in March, you shouldn't be having bleeding anymore. I would lean towards checking that with a Dr. It doesn't sound like an emergency from what you wrote, but I am not a doctor. But you should schedule an appointment with your Dr. when the office opens, either way.

Re: help
I wouldn't go to the ER for it, but I would definitely suggest calling your doctor as soon as the office opens.

Re: help
And if you are having any scary symptoms (like lots of bleeding at once, dizziness, severe pain, etc.) or feel like it can't wait, just go to the ER.
..Also, some health plans have a triage nurse for you to call for advice, if you're not certain. And most Dr's offices have an after hours answering service. If you are uncertain of what to do, you can call the Dr's number. The answering service will relate your message to a Dr. on call, and than call you back with instructions on what to do.

help for brown discharge after hysterectomy
It's likely vaginitis, a vaginal infection. Unfortunately, we can get it even after a hysterectomy. It's an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. It's not an emergency but something you should get with your dr about right away.

Re: help
Maybe. My hysterectomy was for cancer. Nine months later, I noticed some brownish spotting on a Friday evening. Monday morning I called me gyn oncologist. He said it probably wasn't anything but that I should come in. Guess what? The cancer was back.
My point is, there's a whole bunch of different things it could be. You don't know which until your doctor's looked at it and perhaps run a few tests.
