My period came back after my hysterectomy

Hysterectomy is a gynecological surgical treatment. Depending on the nature, location, size and age of the disease, different surgical treatment methods can be used, such as partial removal, subtotal removal and total removal. So, what happens if you get your menstruation after a hysterectomy? What should you do if you get your menstruation after a hysterectomy? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

The uterus is the organ that causes menstruation. If a total hysterectomy is performed, since the organ that causes menstruation has been removed, it is definitely not easy for menstruation to occur. If a hysterectomy is performed, or a partial removal, it depends on the part removed. If the selected site is the internal os of the cervix or the isthmus of the uterus, there is a certain amount of cervical endometrium, which will grow and fall off under the influence of growth hormone, and there may also be a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which is equivalent to menstruation.

Hysterectomy is divided into radical hysterectomy and subtotal hysterectomy. If it is a subtotal extirpation, there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding after the operation, which may be caused by a small amount of endometrium in the cervix. It is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. If it is a total hysterectomy, there may be problems such as polyps in the vaginal stump. A gynecological examination should be performed immediately and surgical treatment should be performed if necessary.

If a woman has a hysterectomy and the cervix is ​​preserved, a small amount of uterine wall may remain in the cervical canal. The uterine wall is still affected by estrogen, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding will occur every month, and symptoms similar to menstruation may also occur. This situation is relatively normal and generally will not affect normal reproductive health. However, if the uterine wall has been completely removed, the recurrence of bleeding may be due to problems with the vaginal stump, such as stump polyps or stump ulcers, which should be treated with medication or surgery in a timely manner.
