Those who’ve had hematoma after hysterectomy, what were your results long term?
Hello Sisters!
I had/have a small hematoma behind my cuff, my doctor says it should heal on its own... I’m hoping there won’t be any complications from it. I think it’s finally clearing up after 2 weeks of spotting and splatting.
I was reading that a hematoma is a risk factor for tears In the articles section. Has anyone had this experience? Or is it just something that will resolve and I’ll go on my merry way?
I’m hoping for the best and if I need more time on restrictions to make sure it all heals correctly, I’m willing to do so (I know only my dr will know if this is necessary)!
Thank you all so much!

Re: Those who’ve had hematoma after hysterectomy, what were your results long term?
Your doctor is taking a conservative approach, and it's a sound approach to let a smaller hematoma resolve on its own rather than open it up and drain it. The open-and-drain procedure is often reserved for larger ones or those which have gotten infected, sometimes requiring a hospital stay.
As for the cuff dehiscence risk, keep in mind that's a rare occurrence. My thought (which is not a medical opinion) regarding hematomas increasing the risk is that a larger one putting pressure on the cuff or one which has gotten infected would be more concerning. At 4 weeks, your stitches are likely dissolving and the tissues of your cuff are binding together on their own. I would think a small hematoma would not add to the risk. You can read more at Hematoma Risk After Hysterectomy.
While I didn't experience a hematoma, I'm hoping the reply bump may prompt someone who did to share her experience.
