Vaginal cuff dehiscence

Hi Ladies!
I am wondering is anyone out there is in the same boat that I am. I had my hysterectomy on May 23rd. At about week 5, I had increased bright red bleeding. I had been in contact w my dr, who decided to schedule me for a CT the following day. I knew something was wrong, so I insisted she see me that day. I ended up in the OR that night having the hole in my cuff restitched. Everything seemed to go ok, and I was sent home that night. I went pee first thing when I got home, and dropped a large clot in the toilet. I began to hemorrhage, so back to the OR I went. The dr unstitched and restitched me, packed my vagina leaving a catheter in place, and I spent the night in the hospital. That was a week ago today. I am still in quite a bit of pain, am traumatized and unsure about my recovery. I am wondering if anyone else has been through this as it is rare, and my dr doesn't have any answers. I will be seeing her every week for awhile and take it as I go.
This site has been helpful and made me feel not alone. I hope all of you who are recovering are doing well!:

So sorry to hear about your cuff dehiscence.... I have dehiscence of my abdominal incision and had to have a 2nd surgery too. Still dealing with wound packing 10 weeks post TAH & BS, it sucks.... Here's to feeling better soon, take care....
