Post-hysterectomy bl

Post-hysterectomy bleeding can occur months or years after the procedure and may be due to a number of factors, some of which are potentially serious and will require an evaluation and possible treatment by your physician. Fallopian tube prolapse, endometriOSis, granulation tissue,atrophic vaginitis, can cause bleeding after hysterectomy. Fallopian tube prolapse (FTP) is a rare complication following both abdominal and vaginal hysterectomies. A biopsy can determine whether the condition is present. One of the reasons a woman might elect to undergo a hysterectomy is endometriOSis. This condition occurs when the tissue that lines the uterus develops in other areas of the body. EndometeriOSis can be painful and cause irregular bleeding.When the cervix is removed, what's referred to as a vaginal cuff is created.This is where endometriOSis can develop following a hysterectomy. Granulation tissue is a healing tissue that grows to help ward off infection following a hysterectomy. Occasionally granulation tissue grows too profusely. Atrophic vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina caused by low estrogen levels and severe irritation.
